Now this is disgusting although not unexpected ,Have the tariffs impacted you yet?

So, I had picked out something for Mother's Day on Amazon that I really liked. I had it in my cart, yesterday the price doubled on that and another item I had my eye on. Today, they were both 4.00 more! No, Thanks, and sorry mom but not paying. It is probably mostly due to the proximity to the big day, but most certainly the tariffs had something to do with it. I picked out another item. Have the tariffs impacted you yet?

They haven’t affected me that I’ve noticed, but I don’t buy a lot of stuff. I need to get a new shredder, and I guess I’d better order it before a $50 shredder turns into a $100 shredder.

It would be a good idea! Too bad you aren't closer, I would sell you a shredder I never use for $10.

@snowy22315 — the way I travel, you are close. 
But it’s ordered.

I made it a point to know my prices on groceries and such...our coffee here has gone way up. I see some other prices have risen as well here...fruits, some produce, olive oil, and cocoa/chocolate items. Some of our dairy has gone way up as well.

I knew it was going to rise, so I bought olive oil while it was still relatively affordable. Luckily, our grocery store had coffee on special. with a cash back reward for buying it.

I bought extra olive oil and coffee, as well as cocoa powder. I use those things a lot, and if they go up as much as anticipated, I know I will be glad I have them. If they don't go up, they will keep just fine until I use them up.
As has been said, I can live without a lot of things, but coffee isn't one of them.

I´m lately sticking to produce from my country. I decided that as there were so many good things here, I would not spend extra on imported luxuries. I said good bye to my Jack Daniels and to delicious pancake syrups.

@snowy22315 Here JD costs about US $ 20 or more while you can get a good Scotch for US $ 6. I prefer JD but I´ll buy Scotch until things settle down.

Likely, I just read some people are boycotting Amazon until May 12 due to higher prices.

@snowy22315 - I bought a few things today at Amazon, but computer cables, no change in prices.
