Tariffs thetaxeson goods from other countries have their upsides.

But they can also make everyday products much more expensive (and less affordable) for the average consumer.

Take a 10% tariff on a $10 item.

That tariff would add $1 in taxes, making the total cost $11.

If youre worried about tariffs, theres good news.

Experts think the prices of some services and goods wont change even with tariff hikes.

When it comes to products, though,here are items you should stock up on now.

Most digital services and products wouldnt be impacted by tariffs at least not directly.

This includes mobile apps.

That doesnt mean prices wont change for other reasons, though.

For example, NPRreportedthat Netflix increased its prices just a few months ago.

This is a $1, $2.50 and $2 price increase, respectively.

This price hike comes off another increase, which occurred only a few months prior.

Pet travel services are more or less tariff-free.

But a few areas might not be impacted (or at least not as much).
