Tariffs are coming, so it’s time to stock up at Costco. It’s important to know which products could see price increases, so you can bulk buy the right items.
As of 2023,15% of the overall U.S. food supply is imported, according to the latest data from Food and Drug Administration. This includes roughly 32% of the fresh vegetables, 55% of the fresh fruit and 94% of the seafood consumed annually by Americans.
Buying more now may help you save money in the long run, as many items at the warehouse club store could soon rise in price due to impending tariffs. Use your $100 Costco budget to purchase the following six items at popular retailer on your next visit.
Tattooed Chef Sheet Pan Vegetables
- Price: $15.20
Turn your bag of Tattooed Chef Sheet Pan Vegetables over and you’ll see it’s a product of Italy. Therefore, you’ll want to buy this now and stash it in your freezer, as the price may go up.
Brothers Strawberry Crisps
- Price: $8.18
A product of China, Brothers Strawberry Crisps contain zero additives or preservatives. These non-GMO, freeze-dried sliced strawberries can be used in a variety of dishes or eaten alone as a snack, so buy now to take advantage of the current price.
Kirkland Signature Extra Fancy Mixed Nuts
- Price: $16.59
Sourced from a variety of countries, Kirkland Signature Extra Fancy Mixed Nuts comes in convenient resealable bag. Put a bag of this salted mix of cashews, almonds, pecans, Brazil nuts and macadamia nuts in your cart now to avoid having to pay more for it later.
Kirkland Signature Organic Quinoa
- Price: $10.99
This 4.5-pound bag of Kirkland Signature Organic Quinoa can serve as the base for countless dishes. However, it’s also a product of Peru, so don’t wait until you run out to get your next bag.
Maas River Farms Organic Green Peas
- Price: $10.52
Maas River Farms Organic Green Peas are an easy side dish and an essential in a variety of recipes. This 5-pound bag should last quite awhile, but the current price may not, as it’s a product of the Netherlands.
Kirkland Signature Farmed Atlantic Salmon
- Price: $37.19
You might not realize it, but Kirkland Signature Farmed Atlantic Salmon is a product of Norway. A freezer essential, this 3-pound bag contains seven servings of salmon, making for a healthy and — currently — affordable meal.
