What will happen when people can't but clothing or shoes? Or solar panels, or batteries, or the raw materials needed to make them?
That is why we've preached 'Get ready NOW' for years.

Now matter where you live there are thrift/consignment/trading post/junk stores that buy sale or trade. Find them in your area and get to know the owners. Also find your local farmers market and get to know those people. Build relationships with them now while you have time. These folks will become part of your off grid network.

Also, cruise the yard sales and flea markets. You can find tons of perfectly good used items for pennies on the dollar.

I've been doing this for years and hardly ever buy anything new from the big box, china mart stores. Support the local underground economy and your neighbors instead of the corporate franchises.
