Clothing, but, tbh, I expect that need to be flexible. I personally could ride out a few years just repairing my items. Pants are what I expect to run out of first--the bottoms give out and that is beyond my repair skills.
I have a few more bags of coffee than I normally would, because caffeine makes things better and we don't grow that here. I have a bit of chocolate.
I really don't know what will be in short supply. I didn't want to hoard stuff I won't use, but I don't want to run out of stuff I need.
we dont grow cacoa either, tropical climates grow our vanilla orchids, cacoa, and coffee beans, avacadoes, pineapples too. and vanilla is notoriously hard to grow, due to its biology(because you have to hand pollinate each flower as the natural pollinator is probably in its native range is either extinct or extirpated and not available in where the vanilla grows.
Yep. I suspect we'll be fine for cheap/low quality candy, thanks to native corn syrup. Sadly my tastes run a bit fancier.
I thought most clothing was now made in Vietnam and Indonesia?
I'm not sure. A quick audit of my clothing says Peru, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Poland, and China.
I'm also not sure how the tariffs will end up.
I've got stuff in my house that was from Pakistan
That's pretty diverse. And yeah, I don't think even Trump knows what's going to happen.
