Who can forget the COVID pandemic days, when grocery store shelves were virtually empty of toilet paper after shoppers began hoarding it? Could we be facing the same shortage because of the tariffs? If there’s one thing everyone knows about the impact of tariffs, it’s that no one knows anything. Confusion is the general theme as tariff rates go up and down depending on the day, and trade deals get announced. So, don’t feel bad if you have no idea how to plan for what’s coming. The one thing everyone seems to agree on is that we’re going to experience higher prices and shortages. That news might make you feel like it’s 2020 again and it’s time to start hoarding toilet paper. According to the experts, don’t bother. The shortages experienced during the pandemic were caused by the sudden shift from office bathrooms to home bathrooms because of remote working, combined with panic-buying. Most of our toilet paper is made domestically, so it’s unlikely you’ll see any shortages.
