This seems pretty important to crowdsource and talk about, so I’m gonna go ahead and risk violating the no politics rule from a few days ago, because I don’t see a better community to ask this. My defense for it not “being politics” is, I’m asking you to keep it to purchasing decisions and how the details of how the tariffs are likely to work, as opposed to who did what. This thread has the potential to save people lots of money if it gets big!

Tariffs are gonna make things more expensive for Americans; what are you planning on buying now instead of later, or stockpiling a little of?

    US produces sufficient amount of food to be self sufficient, ie fast majority of foods is made within US for US consumption… i doubt any base food will be affected anyway, that’s not what tariff policy is about here.

    While US is self sufficient in fuel, US pays global market rate. But again, we are not getting hit with tariffs here either.

      As I said, not for cost saving, but more for not needing to go out when people start panicking, or being stupid
