Stock up on these tariff grocery items before your wallet has to suffer!
President Donald Trump started talking about implementing tariffs when he began his campaign trail in 2024. And now, that talk is becoming a reality. While cars and steel seem to be getting the most attention, produce and raw materials for manufactured food items are also bracing for impact.
Some tariffs already kicked in earlier this year. And more will continue, including a minimum 10% tariff on all imported goods entering the US. Imports from Mexico and Canada are getting 25% tariffs, which means, for instance, that a product from either country that costs $5 will now incur a $1.25 charge.
So, the bottom line is that you should be prepared to pay more at the grocery store. Even the most beloved supermarkets already operate with highly narrow profit margins, meaning it’s well within reason that the $1.25 charge will become the consumer’s responsibility.
But, it isn’t only the more obvious imports, like avocados from Mexico and maple syrup from Canada, that will deliver higher prices at the grocery store. So, let’s get to the bottom of it. Here are the 9 most popular tariff grocery items that will likely increase ASAP.
