    Coffee is / was the big one. I used to stock the cheap, store brand stuff for when I needed a morning lift. That was pre-tariff $9. I’d also stock the good stuff, the brand and variety that I really like a lot, usually around $12 a bag. Tariffs kicked in, the “cheap” stuff went to $20 per lb immediately. The good stuff went to $22 (but only like 12 oz or something). So, no more name brand, and I cut way back on coffee consumption. Fucked up part, tariffs are done and the prices dropped, but nowhere near the old price. The cheap stuff is still $14, so $5 more than 1.5 years ago.

    Holy hell, where are you buying coffee? I still get most of my coffee at TJ Maxx / Marshalls where they often have 12 oz. bags (on clearance) for $5 or so. Even LiDL coffee is only $6.50 for a 12 oz. bag.
