Have you changed your purchasing habits since the tariff shake ups?

Just wanted to see if anyone is changing their purchasing habits in anticipation of these tariff shake ups, particularly from those in the US.
Is it nudging you towards becoming a prepper? Are you looking to buy a new computer or phone just to save money on future purchases? Are you already prepared as we have learned a lesson through all the COVID hysteria? Are you ignoring it all and just living your life?

I’m mostly ignoring it. I do try to be price sensitive, so I’m sure it’s affecting my behavior indirectly.

I can't help to think ahead a bit. The problem is that they flip flop so you can't really tell if it's going to be a thing or not.

this, and making sure these things won't affect me much - I can't imagine these people doing all the silly things, and one needs to constantly worry.

Before the tarrifs I spent all of my extra money on bitcoin. Now I still spend all of my extra money on bitcoin, I just get more sats per dollar.

A good strategy. I prefer to stack sats though.

Yes, I needed some appliances and linens for visitors who are coming in June.
So I bought about $700.00 worth of stuff last week.
I am pretty sure it will all be more expensive when they are restocked.

I think about what I'll need in the near future and whether I should buy it a little earlier.
