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?
I’m American.
I dont have the money to stockpile anything.
Espresso machine I’ve been wanting to buy.
Solar panel system for the house. (this one will get WAY more expensive)
Very thankful my girlfriend and I got ducks this spring. They’ll be worth their weight in gold shortly enough.
Canadian here. I expect the supply of products that would otherwise have gone to the US to go up and the price here to go down. I’ll just wait for the US tariff discounts to hit.
Panic buying like this only leads to more price increases. I just buy the minimum, like usual.
The real question is does panic buying now make goods cost more than a 100% tariff will?
