It makes things go so much smoother in the long run to have parts and things you'll need, on hand. I keep oil and air filters on hand, along with any oil filter I use. Just changed an air filter yesterday that hasn't been changed in a couple years (I write dates and mileage on them), bam, had one on hand.
Spark plugs, light bulbs, typical bearings and seals (spindle bearings on hand for the lawn mower), really, I've got bags of OEM Honda parts that I'll use sometime, but don't know when.
For things that you know are going to be needed for regular maintenance or practical repairs, having it on hand means very little down time. The way shipping is right now and probably will be well into next year, it pays to have things on hand.
I'm not in BFE, but there's not a traffic light within 20 miles of here. There's also very limited stores within driving distance, and things they have in stock are often twice the price versus online. I order the majority of my stuff online, and don't have to burn gas to order a part, just to do it again to pick it up. We're rural enough that going to town takes a big chunk out of the day and cost gas money.
