My groceries have not gone up since Trump took office. I shop at Aldi, Lidl, and a farmers market.

What brand of coffee is not imported and therefore not tariffed? Your mail order coffee is about to get a lot more expensive sweety.

The 50% tariff (which we pay) just kicked in on products from Brazil. Prices on coffee just shot up.

For the people ranting about Trump (and I don't like the tariffs either) are you the same people who were claiming Biden's inflation was only transitional or that claimed you didn't feel it or even that it was right wing misinformation? Just asking as I see some of the same writing styles....


Biden didn't impose totally nonsensical tariffs that he then passed onto all of us, so your example is a false equivalence.

Did you blame Biden for the price of eggs when it was actually due to avian flu?

You do realize that something like three dozen countries will no longer send parcels to the USA because of the tariffs, yes?

So far, many companies have been absorbing the tariffs instead of passing it on to us. But it can’t continue. 2026 will see the full brunt of tariffs tacked on to our groceries, gas, construction.
Many companies are reluctant to open new plants or locations due to economic price of having to absorb the tariffs as long as they have.

We buy Folgers and a can that used to be $8 is now $14.

That’s also true. Brazil’s drought has a direct impact on coffee prices. And that’s just looking at one country.
