To counter the rising grocery costs attributed to potential tariffs, families are adopting the concept of 'tariff pantries.' This practice involves stockpiling non-perishable food and supplies to ensure financial stability and preparedness in case prices surge. One Indiana resident describes building her own tariff pantry, focusing on having a sufficient reserve of essential items based on calorie needs. By creating this pantry, families can potentially mitigate the financial strain of future price increases by buying essential items in advance.
"We started building 'tariff pantries.' Assuming tariffs raise prices, we will have a good reserve of food and household supplies on hand to fall back on."
"It's always been important for us to keep an emergency reserve of food on hand in case of a natural disaster... We decided it was time to take that a bit further."
