If there is trade it will always be a version of what we have now. You'll have some market, where people go to trade or sell to people they don't now. People with a supply of goods will just trade directly with one another is my guess, and take surplus to some market. Even if the trading is just done through informal networks, someone will set up even a flea market type set up.
there is a point where in a SHTF, in theory anyways, and the chances are small, that - you're not going to shop at a grocery with your credit card for a while. I don't think we'll see that, but I think we could see food riots, as prices going up and up, and going to just tear into lower income groups in a major way. I've eaten some foods from discount grocery stores over the years, just to see what it is like - and I'd riot too. I forget the name of the grocery, but it was super cheap, and I didn't recognize any of the brands. We made Tacos, and nothing tasted like anything - it was messed up. Nobody should eat whatever crap that was. I'd rather eat rice and beans, or canned foods. It was terriblle, all the vegetables were like this as well. It was like someone blasted it with a raygun, and it just sucked 80% of whatever is in food that makes it good, was removed. Everything sucked, every last thing - and I'm not a picky eater, and if it is what is made - whatever it is, I'll happily eat it - I'm one of those. If someone served me food from one of those grocery stores, I think I might complain - even as a guest. I'd riot too I guess .... lol
