I was out at the store and things still felt relatively the same price wise. Guess that's going to change soon.
I've noticed that the actual prices haven't changed but all the stuff that used to be 4 or 5 bucks is still 4 or 5 bucks bur it's "on sale" marked down from 7 or 8 bucks. And everyrhing is "on sale" my guess is these sales are gonna slowly dissappear and everything's gonna be the higher price within 2 months.
This is a well established retail tactic to ease customers into price hikes. I remember Walgreens pulling this shit all the time when I worked there like 15 years ago.
When I worked at Lowes they would also increase the prices of appliances a couple months ahead of big sales
Most groceries are domestically produced, probably won't be the first thing affected (although posters last week noticed cheaper soy/tofu prices due to the lack of export)
Soy face ascendent
Anecdotally, coffee was 10% higher this weekend over last week
