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?

    Great skill! My wife has been cooking her entire life and now she cans all of our vegetables but has expanded into fruit drink mixes, pig fat, stocks, etc. the benefit is that what she cooks now is better than most restaurants. She has the gift of just knowing what should go together so she can whip anything together. She enjoys it which makes it so much better. Nothing like TLC in foot prep to make things taste even better. I can’t even put together how much we’ve saved by not eating out. Although, we do like to break down whatever we’re having cost wise vs how much it would’ve cost at a nice restaurant. Anyway, all that to say, you made a wise choice and I’m sure it’s already paid off.
