A Parmesan sale post tariff? Whole Foods surprised me


I just got this in my Whole Foods email. The October 18 date stuck out to me, because I was planning to go buy parmesan before then because that's when Trump's tariffs on everything good kick in. Of course, I didn't know how long those prices would take to filter their way to the consumer. But now I am going to buy parmesan tomorrow after I get a flu shot. It's actually a bit more than 30% off for Prime members.

Trump is raising the price of your parmesan

To get back at the European Union for subsidizing Airbus, the Trump administration is raising the price that American consumers pay for French wines and Italian cheeses. These will go into effect on October 18. The new tax we will have to pay is 25%. This also applies to prosciutto, luxury butters like Kerrygold, "liqueurs and cordials" e.g. Campari and Fernet.

I am so mad.

Better stock up. The Trump administration is doing this to protect Boeing. But we have to suffer.
