Tariffs on products at Costco.

Mr Ninga and I shopped at Cosco today. I I was kveching about the price of honey and found the country of origin to be Brazil for a particular selection.
Mr Ninga promptly looked for tariffs and Brazil.
Yep. 14%
So I rooted around and found honey produced in Michigan. Problem solved. Mr Ninga took a pack of post it notes from my purse and wrote “beware tariff product means you pay tariff tax”
He slapped it on the box of Brazil produced honey and then proceeded to do the same thing to other tariff taxed products until he ran out of post its. I went and sat down and had a hot dog while I waited.
Busy bee that Mr Ninga. Love him to bits.

Imagine spending hours researching every product at Costco so you can put a post-it note on it and brag at DU.
Imagine actually believing this story

I was in Costco the other day and put Post-Its on all of the laptops.

"This laptop is real. Just like Hunter's."

So, Mr. and Ms. Ninga did what tariffs are intended to do, "persuade" Americans to buy American-produced products.

Just for the heck of it, I just hopped on the costco website to look at honey prices.  They had honey from Brazil for $3.33 per pound and honey from Argentina for $3.00 a pound.  Both are very cheap options for honey, despite the tariffs. I'm all fir buying American made when possible, but the tariffs are hardly putting foreign made items out of reach for the average American.
