Since Amazon won't display Tariff price increases, here's plan B:

If you want to see price increases on your favorite Amazon products:
Add items to your shopping cart as if to buy them.
Then click on "save for later"
Later, view your shopping cart & it'll show you the price changes of the "saved items".
Note: prices almost always go up by dollars & down by cents.

Even though I haven't used Amazon for quite a while, I have been watching price changes on items I've had as "saved items".
The $ increases have been an incentive to shop elsewhere for better prices. That was before tariffs.
Now with the tariffs, all bets are off.
I'm still not buying from Bezos.

If they have to get involved in figuring it out, they then start to question why they have to go through an extra step to see if they are getting the best deal.

Engagement. This is the big mistake Trump and Amazon is making.

Yes, they are stupid but only stupid to a point.

I quit using Amazon, too, but I use them for price comparison. It’s easy to beat their prices at a retail store these days.

Because the ports are empty. Amazon going to lose big time and Jeff doesn't care.

When you're rich, you let them destroy the economy.

"This" is what we are up against and only about the 100th day.

Tighten seat belts and buckle up.

Already been and IMO will only get worse, a bumpy ride.

May day march in Seattle tomorrow, heading out the door soon.
