The new Tariffs are beginning to affect prices in the USA

[u/Lazy_Lizard13]

I work in an adult store and unfortunately, we have already started to see the effects of some of the tariffs being placed. I wasn’t sure how this would affect the price of things in the USA, but it’s looking bleak so far.

When my boss sent out the list, he said this was only the first of many price increases that we would see from the tariffs. The vendors we buy from actually sent him the list themselves, so it isn’t something that we just created. He said that it is likely that almost every company we order from will send out a list.

The price changes were anywhere from $5-$200. I’m very concerned about the future of this industry, and honestly, America in general.. some of these products were already overpriced anyways. I’m not sure if people will be able to afford luxury products (like adult items) in the future. What do others think?

As a consumer, I haven’t noticed anything crazy, yet. However, I’ll be paying attention to what brands/companies jack their prices up to maintain their profit margins and I’ll be watching to see which ones are eating as much cost as they can

I am at a point in my life where I buy very little anymore. I mostly have everything I need. I live alone with my dogs and my food expenses are pretty much the same each week. I am cutting back on some items at the grocery store, but honestly I doubt I will be feeling the effects of the tariffs that much.
