Beating Tariff Price Hikes
Back-to-School Shopping Tips for 2025
As parents gear up for back-to-school shopping, rising tariff uncertainty is adding pressure to budgets across the U.S. The tariffs placed on imported goods, particularly from Southeast Asia, are expected to increase the cost of products like electronics, clothing, and school supplies. Some retailers have stocked up in anticipation of these price hikes, but many will still adjust their pricing, passing the cost onto consumers.Fortunately, there are ways to navigate this increased cost of living. Shopping during tax-free weekends, taking advantage of store discounts, and making use of layaway programs can help ease the financial burden. While rising costs may be inevitable, with a little planning, parents can still manage to keep their budgets in check.
Smart Shopping Tips for Parents
- Shop early to avoid last-minute price hikes.
- Look for bulk or multi-pack items for long-term savings.
- Take advantage of "Buy Now, Pay Later" options that many retailers offer, but be sure to read the fine print.
- Use cashback programs or loyalty points when available.
- Consider shopping online and checking for exclusive deals or promotions.
