Tariffs, Headlines, and Your Wallet

What happened: New tariffs got headline heat. Stores pay more on imports, then pass it to you. That’s the quiet tax.

• If the tariff sticks, prices rarely drop back. It’s ratchet-up economics.
• “Tough on China” often lands as “tough on your cart” unless paired with real price relief.

What to do: Track prices you buy monthly. If a fee or price jumps, save the receipt. Complain in writing; ten voices get action.
