Fear of Trump tariffs is causing Americans to buy now before prices rise—and they're stockpiling toilet paper, medicine, and food | Fortune

Toilet paper is at the top of the shopping list with 77% saying they are stocking up on it, according to a recent survey from CreditCards.com.

• One in three consumers plans to spend more money this holiday season, and the top motivation is fear of higher tariffs under Trump, according to a survey by CreditCards.com. Nearly a third also expect to take on more debt to make their purchases.

Americans are bracing for higher prices when President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House as he has pledged to impose sweeping tariffs.


But consumers aren’t waiting for products to get more expensive. Instead, they’re loading up on items this holiday-shopping season, according to a recent survey from CreditCards.com.

One in three Americans plans to buy more, and fear of higher tariffs is the leading motivator, with 39% citing them for stepped-up purchases. Other reasons include worries about potential supply-chain disruptions, “societal instability,” recession, and another pandemic. Meanwhile, 22% plan to make a large purchase, such as electronics or home appliances.

“With the possibility of tariffs hanging over cheap goods from countries like China and Mexico, it’s no surprise that some consumers are pondering big-ticket purchases before President-elect Trump takes office,” John Egan, expert contributor at CreditCards.com focusing on credit cards, insurance, and personal finance, said in a statement last week. “Although manufacturers pay the tariffs, these extra costs often get passed along to shoppers in the form of higher prices.”

Americans are also buying everyday items, and the survey found 34% are stockpiling essentials. Toilet paper is at the top of the shopping list with 77% saying they are stocking up on it. That’s followed by nonperishable food (76%), medical supplies (58%), and over-the-counter medications (54%).


What's a matter magats, can't afford what you voted for? BHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'll be over here enjoying my tax cut from trump.
Better get some lube you morons are going to need it.

Yes magats like yourself.

Stockpiling is a great idea with or without tariffs as the world becomes more unstable given that America now manufactures very little.

I suggest that you do it with food as well.

If only someone would have seen this coming and warned the American people.

Fear of Trump tariffs is causing libtards to hoard toilet paper, medicine, and food before prices drop (or otherwise remain essentially the same).​

Fixed it

Fixed it even more.

Some on my grapevine think we have a decent chance a deflation, but most are expecting the inflation to continue.....and do remember that the inflation numbers our government passes out are fraudulently lowballed.
