Just off the top of my head, my alcohol-free, wine alternative subscription from Canada will cost me an additional $180. per year. There is another alternative that I liked that was made in NY, but I like Proxies from Canada a lot better, and it has a lot less sugar, so I'll stick with them despite any tariffs.
I'm sure there are plenty of other items that will cost us more. It looks like a of our health/beauty/toiletry items are made in Canada.
I've tried to buy things that are made locally or at least in the USA for a long time. It is sometimes totally impossible, as a lot of product categories just aren't made in the US. Nor do I want to spend my life researching the minutiae of every tiny package of dental floss I buy. Also, how does one factor into the equation sustainable/environmentally friendly practices? Sticking with dental floss, I recently found a brand I like that doesn't contain any plastics in the product or packaging, but it's made in Colombia. So is that better or worse?
I wonder how they will treat items like coffee, tea, and chocolate that cannot be sourced from the US at all?
