Many Dollar Tree products are imported, so it’s time to stock up. According to the White House, new tariffs are set to begin August 1 — except for China, which has an August 12 deadline, as Reuters reported — meaning it’s possible prices will increase and/or inventory will decrease.
Since retirees are on a fixed income, having to spend extra for must-have items might notably impact your budget. Here’s a look at top Dollar Tree items retirees need to buy now, as they’re made in countries subject to upcoming tariffs.
E-Circuit AAA Alkaline Batteries
- Price: $3
Offered in an eight-pack, you can never have too many E-Circuit AAA Alkaline Batteries. Made in Taiwan, these batteries can power everything from flashlights to clocks, so now is the time to make sure you have a stockpile.
Folgers Colombian Medium Roast Ground Coffee
- Price: $5
Made from 100% Colombian coffee, this 9.6-ounce canister of Folgers Colombian Medium Roast Ground Coffee contains your morning caffeine fix. An unopened container of coffee should stay fresh for two years, according to the Ohio State University Extension, so factor this into your purchase decision.
Cambridge & Thames Danish Style Butter Cookies
