managing a period of global inflation caused by post-COVID supply chain disruptions, so that the US did better than nearly all other countries.

And now Trump has single handedly created a period of global inflation. And, of course domestic producers will raise their prices to match the imports because they can.

Four 2 lb. bags = in the freezer

of green beans (yield is approx 15% less roasted) bringing my stash to about 30 lbs. should last 1.5 yrs.

I go through a 2 lb. bag of beans every couple of months.

After its gone, its gone.

Doesn't keep forever.

My emergency stockpile is Bustelo instant which is surprisingly good, BTW.

I got Bustelo once, and found it to be like "old Folger's flavor."

But will still freeze for future consumption. Damn the insane dear leader all to hell.

oops

putting words in the mouths of others

Dunno about donuts. But they contain eggs, so that price should be going up as well.

Drink or don't drink, you're paying more.

in his orange wisdom, wrecked the place?

......it really was twelve. This is going to affect my retirement plans somewhat.

Budweiser and most American beer tastes like crap.

here in the city. One day, me and my SO were sitting at a local drinking establishment, and a young lady walked up to us, said that she was a Annh. Busch rep, and noticed that me and my SO other were drinking Bud Lite, as we always have. She said that she appreciated that and wanted to thank us by buying us a round of Bud Lites. So nice, and of course, she didn't have to do that, we have, over the years, dozens of our friends work at Annh. Busch over the years here in STLMO, so we support them as a result.

But the offer to buy and get both a busch beer / bud lite was so nice, for Annh. Busch to do this.

Billy Beer? Coming soon, Don Jr Beer. Brewed from the urinals at NASCAR events. Pure MAGA delight. Now with Max flow openings to come out like new shower heads. The openings look Like Trump’s chin anus.

You may see a change in a short time.

I've seen posts complaining og gas being more per gal., but here it has gone down 50 cents or so per gal.

Ty!

Could be that they just haven't changed prices yet, or -- as I suspect -- red states are trying to buffer the effects...

But then again, I don't drink.

Cannabis comes from up north. I’m good.

Tecate and Pacifico are even cheaper. I would definitely report that store for price gouging. No body should be just running around changing prices. Fuck those opportunistic price gougers!

Alcohol and food are generally covered by that agreement.

Not posting direct links to avoid possible consideration as spam, but if you like the idea you can go looking for some.

You know stickers gonna go up too!

Alcohol is covered by the USMCA agreement, and there is no tariff on most alcohol imported from Mexico or Canada.

Modelo Negro (imported from Mexico) was exactly the same price it has been for at least a year at two different outlets since the tariffs. I didn't look at Corona, since I don't have any interest in it.

14.99 for a 2 1/2 lb bag of whole bean coffee. Prior to increase 11.99 for the same 2/12 lbs.

Welcome to stump world.

But loud enough for people to hear. I was also there yesterday and saw 2 women proudly wearing their MAGA hats, what type of idiot brags about being MAGA now?

Or that non-commercial Texas-grown coffee.

(Can't imagine that working out, but you never know.)

A case of 24 12-oz. bottles of either Modelo or Corona is still shown as $28-30 at Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia.

Sixteen 500-ml cans of Carlsberg went from $13.49 to $14.99. Total lists it as a German beer, but the company is Danish, and this Carlsberg comes from their brewery in France.

My local beer store was more concerned with the cost of cans going up more than beer. Because even American beer uses imported metal for cans.

I got some pre-tariff beers from various countries and some liquor.

Nobody knows how long this will last. Comrade Krasnov often does exactly the opposite of what he says he'll do. So he might reverse some more tariffs.

Live and learn, now an American educations. Wonder why they are destroying the Education Dept ?

$17.99 at Safeway.

The tariff on imported beer is 25%, so it sounds like your liquor store is engaging in price gouging unless they were charging $25 for a 12 pack before the tariffs. You might want to think about doing business with a different store.

Mexico paying the tariff. /s

Here in the NY finger lakes we have plenty of small local micros to enjoy. Better than any beer I've ever had, and all styles.

from multinational companies and look into local and regional brewers? The quality is a lot better.

Lagunitas also brews in Chicago, Sierra Nevada in North Carolina

And there’s a bunch more

one can do a lot better if one likes lager. If there is not a small brewery local, Kona makes a good lager, Harp is excellent. If one is really lucky, they can get Yuengling which is marketed as a lager, but I see it as a very good traditional American pale, sold in many stores.

These are all refreshing, and mostly not supporting multinational conglomerates (though Harp is brewed by Guinness which is owned by Diageo).

Beer should be bottled with dark glass

But who know

Maybe some grocery items that may have increased anyway before the tariffs.. except for my tofu cat litter... it has gone up by about $10, however, one went up before the tariffs were in place- I tried another one that gave me more at one time because I found with 3 kitties we needed more until the next shipment came. The dry cat food went up too, but also before the tariffs but maybe in anticipation of them.

I am waiting for the shock when it happens. Fortunately computers and phones will be excluded apparently- I will use my phone as long as I can, it is already a pretty old model I got for free, but I do need another laptop for work alone due to various reasons. When I need a new phone if it totally breaks I can use my father's phone maybe.

As for booze, I rarely buy any and always get the cheap champagne or wine etc. 😹

Yes, leave it to maga to make everything a misery for everyone.
