While it can still be confusing on a day-to-day basis what tariffs are in effect on what U.S. trading partners, the fact is that many companies are signaling price hikes as a result, and this may also lead to product shortages.
Technology is one of the categories of goods largely made of materials produced overseas, and thus sensitive to tariffs. Here are six tech items to grab up at Costco on your next run to stay ahead of both price hikes and shortages.
JBL Noise Cancelling Headphones
- Price: $69.99
We live in an age where everyone walks around in a personal music, podcast, movie or TV show bubble, and it’s nice not to have to compete with the noise of other people’s devices. Costco makes this simple with JBL noise canceling headphones.
Wyze Wired Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera
- Price: $49.99
When it comes to home and office, safety is essential, and modern tech makes it so much easier to know who’s coming and going from the places you spend the most time. Right now, you can get a two-pack of these Wzye indoor/outdoor security cameras, with 6 months of cloud storage.
Samsung Galaxy7 Smart Watch
- Price: $199.99
Since Apple first debuted its Apple Watch, smart watches and Fitbits have flooded the market, making this tech much more affordable. You can get this Samsung Galaxy Watch7 for much less than an Apple product, at just $199. It comes with two chargers and allows you to do such things as track your energy score, sleep, heart health and steps. Also, you can call, text, take pictures and play music all at your wrist.
Minolta Digital Camera
- Price: $99.99
If you’re trying to break your smartphone habit but love to take photographs, you don’t have to spend a small fortune on a camera now that digital technology has gotten much better. Minolta, a leading brand in photography equipment, offers this simple digital camera, the MND23, with 48 megapixels and 4K HD.
Lexar Dual Drive USB-C & USB-A
- Price: $19.99
As you move between devices at home, work and school, having portable data becomes more important than ever, especially if you can’t always access the cloud. Grab up several two-packs of these Lexar dual drives with both USB-C and USB-A ports, and 128 GB of storage.
Surge Protected Power Strip
- Price: $99.99
Once upon a time you maybe had a couple of devices to plug in, but these days, people’s lives are powered by technology. If the power goes out, it can mean total disruption to your life. This CyberPower battery backup with surge protection enables you to keep your essential devices online in case of a power outage, or even on the go. It’s got eight outlets, and one each of a USB-C and USB-A port, and surge protection so you don’t ruin any of your devices.
