I don't like it, but I guess Target was right to just go ahead to raise their prices with no announcement, not wanting trump to rip into their ass about about exposing the lies he's told US about tariffs !
These next few months should be very interesting to see how they react to all the price hikes
Nothing will be cheaper
Also, red states rely on social services, so l wonder if this will be the straw that broke the camels back for them
I feel like they will excuse it away like everything else trump does to them. Fucking idiots.I hope these price hikes hurt them, a lot. They literally asked for it by voting for that stupid man.
But hopefully, the Populous will force a change since we know they are not going to willingly give up power
I also believe Eisenhower's words will ring True & the Republican Party will die
um anything they are stocking the shelves with now got here while the tariffs were still 145%. the cargo ships travel very slow anything ordered now won't be here for a month.
Because in a very short while every store you purchase from will become “the culprit” and the blame should go to tariffs and inflation. DEI capitulation didn’t get them anywhere and they were just stupid.
ahh but you forget it was 145% up to this past week. and it is only going to be 30 for 90 days. since they are stocking shelves with these then these got here while the tariffs were still 145%. anything that got ordered after the tariff drop in price won't be here for a month.
They certainly do, clearly, but they can’t apply tariff costs on products already on hand. And there hasn’t been any Chinese cargo deliveries to the US in almost 2 weeks. So they only have pre-tariff products on hand. A real government would be all over this price gouging.
Not sure about that. But they also have been losing money since the boycott started, so raising prices might also be to offset their losses last Quarter.
Yeah this will definitely help them raise money. Noone is going to pay those prices unless they absolutely have to. I went to Home Depot the other day just for 1 thing and for probably the only time I left with that one thing because of their prices.
Made a home delivery order yesterday. 17 items were just over $100. But the app insisted my free delivery was going to cost $35 for the 7 mile delivery. Had to call to get a solution. Turns out only one item was triggering the $35 charge. A basic lawn rack($18) was getting charged as heavy/bulky!
Yeah, anything much over 100% tariffs just means no on the world will even bother making or selling that product, no matter if there is demand. Good luck home weaving your next CPAP machine!
Because they're a BUSINESS, not a charity. At 32%, if it used to cost them $3, now it costs $4. So your price is now $8 instead of $6. At 145%, that $3 item costs them close to $7.50, but you expect them to keep selling it for $6??? No. Now you pay $15. That's how it works.
sorry… my sarcasm is bad. Agree 100%.
but trump and his henchmen lie and his gullible maga base swallows it.
“I LOVE the poorly educated.”
only a very few companies can eat a 30% increase in business costs and not go under.
trumpcrypto, for example.
Companies have profit margins. If you are lucky, the cheapest that $6 item will cost you at 145% is $10.50, because Target has already calculated it has to make a minimum of $3 profit on that item. Every step along the way, the tariff increases for the buyer because businesses have margins.
I agree with Trump that it’s not Americans who’ll pay the tariff at Target.. they could be Canadian or Mexican or Hungarian or Zimbabwean.. so to say Americans pay the tariff is misleading…
In 2017, China stopped importing most types of waste, including plastic waste and other solid waste, as part of a broader effort to reduce pollution and increase self-sufficiency in waste management China stopped taking the Packaging!
Tariffs are a Trump Tax On Americans. TTOA. Keep repeating this truism every where, whenever you can. Because it is true & he does not want you to know that. He is a fraud looking out for his own best interests. Not yours. Absolutely never yours.
I know the reality of the situation but unfortunately I have relatives in my family who are lost & seem to think everything is OK. They live near me & claim grocery prices haven’t gone up. I don’t live that far from them & I am paying a lot for groceries- the word Dtrump just discovered - groceries😬
I work at a California grocery retail chain. We were bought by a Canada based company a few years ago. We've been getting memos about what to say when customers ask why we have empty shelves or why our prices are increasing. We are 3-5 weeks away from total chaos.
save mart is a pretty good grocery chain. nothing here really beats winco or the smaller ethnic chains, but they’re a lot better than safeway with their aisles upon aisles of overpriced variants of processed nothing.

They literally made billions gouging us after Covid was done impacting retail.
Greed.
Thats their motivation.
It sure isn’t serving their customers.
