Well, Fam … First, this blog is “Written by pencil.” When you read this, information related to definitions may have already changed. I understand the need to stay on a constant knowledge of the facts, not opinions, so I included a list of non -party sources at the bottom of this blog post to obtain the latest information about the definitions.
If you are like me (And many other consumers)After seeing the new TRP tariff in 2025, I immediately thought about how my grocery grocery bill was affected.
I was expressing my fingers that the definitions will not apply to food, but … regardless of the 10 % foundation rate on all imports and higher rates on goods from certain countries, the definitions are expected to affect common nutrients such as coffee, cheese, seafood and more.
So, let’s divide it:
- What foods are affected by the definitions of 2025
- How to make a store/refrigerator to go ahead
- Smart shopping strategies
- Storage and memorization tips
Foods affected by the definitions of 2025
according to Reutersand BloombergAnd CBS newsThe following foods are expected to be affected by new definitions.
Personally, some of these may not be “anxiety” like eggs and beef, but it is good to know in any case. Also, I include the two countries because this information will be useful when we reach the warehouse scrutiny.
This is what I have found so far:
1. Coffee:
- The two countries were affected:
- Vietnam: 46 % tariff
- Indonesia: 32 %
- Brazil and Colombia: 10 %
2. Cocoa and Chocolate:
- The two countries were affected:
- Ivory Coast: 21 %
- Ghana: 10 %
- European Union Chocolate Products (EU): 20 %
3. Seafood:
- The two countries were affected:
- Vietnam and Thailand (The ratio of customs tariffs cannot be found)
4. Olive oil:
- The region is affected – the European Union: 20 % tariffs
5. Wine and spirits:
- Countries/affected areas:
6. Cheese products and dairy products:
- The region is affected – the European Union: 20 %
7. Eggs:
- As if the eggs were not already high enough, the customs tariff for imports from Brazil, South Korea and Turkey
8. Cow meat:
9. Fresh products (each case case):
- Mexico: 25 % possible A tariff for goods is incompatible with the United States and Mexico-and Canada Agreement (USMCA)
How to do a store and a refrigerator (The first step before shopping!)
Even if I don’t write this for definitions, I strongly recommend this practice because it helps you to become more aware of your purchase habits (Which can also tell you whether your habits are approaching your wellness goals).
Before you rush to the grocery store and spend more money too much, store the stock! This “scrutiny” helps you determine the foods you buy regularly that may be subject to definitions so that you can determine what you buy now, freeze or replace local goods (provided that their costs are not increased).
Step 1: Make a weekly menu
Take 10-20 nutrients you buy every week or always store them. More think about foodstuffs in the categories I mentioned above – production, coffee, eggs, cheese, olive oil, seafood and chocolate. Another way, and perhaps more accurate, to do this is to search for a grocery store bonus account and watch your purchase record.
Step 2: Check the stickers
Look beyond the feeding poster on its back to find the location of each product. most He will say packaging “project [Country]” Near the barcode or nutritional designation.
Step 3: Shedding light on imports
Now that I got this information, start making a sign of any elements of the “repeated purchase list” that comes from countries affected by definitions.
Step 4: Plan for the future
- Store non -applicable materials and elements that you use frequently.
- Freeze or maintain foods that will not last long.
- Consider an exchange of local alternatives.
Boy: I am very late for the party because I am still stuck in the old school methods to use the pen and paper for the organization; However, check these store applications (such as a photographer or store). These applications help you track what you have now and when it is expired until you know what and when you should buy!
Smart strategies to overcome food enlargement
1. Check the store and the refrigerator
(See the above section on how to do a store and refrigerator) Understand what to buy before possible price screws. This helps you reduce food waste and chaos by purchasing the basics only.
2. Buy in large quantities
Yes, “Costco Unite lovers!”
But seriously, don’t buy panic, but consider buying stable and free -free foods to apply for your favorite foods for your favorite foods.
Examples:
- Buy large bags of coffee, but freeze them in small batches to help fragment and increase freshness
- Get that quality Olive oil now – I will try to get those in sealed cans (sealed dark containers help maintain better freshness)
- Freezing international butter (Yes, butter), Solid cheese, and meat – that Charcuterie should not only suffer due to the definitions!
3. Buy the freezer and put this freezer to work
Consider ready and freeze foods. For example, in addition to the cheese, butter and meat mentioned above, cut and store and store the sweet pepper, onions or tomatoes. Take a chapter of the Dominican cooking book and make Sofrito by mixing vegetables and herbs, then freezing them as ice cubes to use later.
However … not all freezes well – it will turn into water when it melts. So … buy frozen (canned goods)! People tend to think of these elements as less nutritious or less quality, but in reality they are the opposite! You can buy canned or low -sodium -free food products, as well as frozen raw ingredients such as berries and broccoli, all at reasonable prices.
** Remember to put history on anything that you store in the freezer. **
4. Buy local and seasonal products
Local products are not affected by international tariffs, so in theory, their prices should remain the same. Note: I understand that in reality, some prices will rise in food categories; But it is an optimistic scenario for our governor, which remains less expensive.
This is not only more cost -effective, but also helps your local community and smaller companies. And do not forget to shop during the season you are! Seasonal products are often cheaper and sweet.
5. Follow sales and coupons
Stay ready, flam! Run your notifications with grocery store applications, join their newsletters, and you may think about following them on social media, especially if it is a smaller store than the mother and pop. Treat it like the stock market – the established for purchase when the prices are lower, then freeze or store them!
Food storage tips to extend the shelf life
It is important to protect weekly food investment (Watch what I did there by calling it an investment? I know this seems to be a way to circumvent, but when you think of food as an investment in your wellness and your treatment of your wallet, your purchase behavior may change …))
Therefore, let’s discuss storage to protect your investment.
First, if you are interested in cooking and storing meals, you should check my message on how to store cooked nutrients.
Second, here are some fast storage peaks for the goods that we know will be targeted.
- coffeeStore in tightly closed containers (or aluminum/paper bags with no “width window”) in a cold dark wardrobe. If you purchase a large bag, divide it into smaller parts to help keep it for long -term use.
- Cheese and butterTightly wrap in slavery and plastic.
- MeatPart of the freezer bags and remove the excess air to keep it fresh as possible in the refrigerator (You can use a straw to do this or immerse the meat in the bag in the water so that the pressure pays all the air). Remember that naming is clear.
- olive oil: Storage in a dark, dark place; Buy in metal containers. You can find oils sold in gasoline boxes in the old school.
- ChocolateKeep a dry spot, away from light and heat. I am very freeze or colder any chocolate in my house because I cannot control myself if so. Freezing works better – just make sure it is tightly closed.
Jerry Springer final ideas: Stay in the foreground, not behind it
It is imperative that the 2025 tariff will affect, if affected, many common nutrients. There is no way to overcome this. Use these tips and strategies to reduce the effect, especially if you are on a more compact food budget.
Check food.
Smart shopping.
Local support.
And … I think we have finished here … well, now.
