Trump has promised further reciprocal tariffs set to begin on April 3.
Increased duties have the possibility of directly impacting Americans budgets in various ways.
Heres how Trumps trade war could affect your shopping in April.
Groceries
Buying groceries has been particularly painful for many Americans.
The agency reports that the United States is Canadas largest purchaser of agricultural products.
Impacted products range from fruits and vegetables to various protein-based foods.
Consumer Electronics
Americans planning on purchasing a new electronic equipment in April may feel sticker shock.
Impacted products range from televisions and video gaming systems to phones and computers.
Pricing impact could occur quickly, likely within the month, according to the Anderson Economic Group.
The organization anticipates price spikes between $4,000 and $12,000 on most cars.
Used cars arent immune either, as demand could drive consumers to used automobiles, causing a price increase.
Wine
Wine aficionados, take notice.
You should expect to pay more for that wine from France or Italy in April.
This is thanks to a promised 200% tariff on wine and champagne coming from Europe beginning April 2.
This will directly impact pricing for a bottle of wine from Europe.
Moreover, importers have begun to halt shipments, decreasing supply in the United States and further increasing costs.
Shoes and Clothing
Americans needing a new pair of shoes arent exempt from increased costs.
Chinese-made shoes comprised nearly 60% of that amount, according to the organization.
Tariffs will impact pricing for Americans.
Furthermore, China is a major supplier of apparel sold in America.
Americans can expect clothing prices to increase by 8.2%, according to the Yale Budget Lab.
Whether shoes or apparel, its safe to expect increased costs to purchase items.
As more tariffs take effect, shopping for many items could become more painful in April.
While Americans cant control tariffs, they can control purchase habits.
Making wise shopping decisions is the best way to prevent increased costs from stinging your wallet.
