Major Stores May Just Cut Off These 13 Essential Items in FEBRUARY — Preppers Know What's Coming

While most Americans assume store shelves will always be stocked, major retailers including Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Costco are quietly drafting contingency plans to RESTRICT customer access to 13 essential items starting February 1st, 2026. This isn't about empty shelves—it's about controlled access. And internal supplier alerts suggest February will make 2020 look like a practice run.
