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?
Its rough because your talking years. you might be able to stave off a little of the pain but eventually your going to feel it.
For a lot of things yeah, but not for like, a fridge or a couch. Was wondering about other things in that category I hadn’t thought of.
Oh shit, you just reminded me that I’ve been needing to buy a new couch.
Yeah if you have ones that need replacing or at least are close or at least are more energy efficient. If they are relatively new im now sure if you would still “win” out. I get what your asking, I think part of it is I have been thinking of it myself and in my case I have somewhat recently already done my fridge, washer/dryer, hot water heater, and stove. Which I mean is a good thing as some of them I even got before the last burst of inflation. I was sorta kicking myself for others as we had the large inflation but now it might end up being a great time to do it. I sorta wish I could have gotten my whole place renovated.
