".. Consumers in the US have absorbed an estimated 22% of tariff costs through June, but their share will rise to 67% if the latest tariffs follow the pattern of levies in previous years .." @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I have been sounding the alarm for months to stock up on non-perishable food items and paper goods.  Keep in mind that when prices go up for consumer goods that they will go up for businesses, too.  If coffee goes up at Vons, it goes up at your local breakfast joint.  I guarantee you that a lot of businesses will close due to these tariffs which puts more people out of work.  The federal government is no longer going to be releasing the job numbers.

There will be other opportunities to pick up great deals just be patient and hold onto your money.
