Preparing for tariffs. While President Trump insists that, over the long term, his new tariff policy will result in a stronger economy, most experts agree that short-term we can expect to see higher prices. After tooling around the internet, I've found 13 items we may wish to stock up on now, before retailers have to restock and reprice to reflect the cost of the tariffs.
Check the expiration date on the items you currently have on hand. If they are going to expire anytime in 2026, it's worth your while to replenish your personal supply now.
1. Batteries
2. Toothpaste
3. OTC pain killers and cold meds
4. Rice
5. Canned soup
6. Coffee
7. Olive Oil
8. Laundry detergent
9. Body wash
10. Light bulbs
11. Toilet paper/paper towels
The following items don't expire but are likely to climb in price when tariffs go into effect
12. Small electronics, like blenders, microwaves and portable hair dryers
13. Hardware and tools, like flashlights, nails, nuts and bolts

ReplyDeleteI wonder if the tariff policy will curtail crossing into Canada to purchase some of these items.
ReplyDeleteI was just talking to the tech guy at school, and he said he's stocking up on the stuff he needs for his home renovation. Because prices are fluctuating. Yeah, not a good time to wait to make any purchases.
