[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biggest concern- what happens when the big box stores and companies stop absorbing costs of tariffs/taxes and raise their prices? Most are saying January is when we will see true prices. If it gets much higher, I will have to be very careful about what we buy and avoid waste at all cost. [/quote]

I don’t think big box stores are absorbing costs.
On some items they are as bad as supermarkets.[/quote]

They are, but won’t be able to for much longer. They stocked up before tariffs hit, are absorbing the cost, and finding ways to ship through other countries where possible. They say they will have to stop absorbing in January, they expect to run out of stockpile. 
“Like many other retailers, Costco continues to push a multipronged approach to navigating tariffs. The retailer has opted to absorb some of the costs while also continuing to work closely with its suppliers to move its production to countries “where it makes sense” and consolidating buying efforts to lower the cost of goods, Millerchip said.”
