I had some DYI hackable computer kits (ClockworkPI) that I orderd last year, both of them arrived in the last few weeks. Im very glad they made it through customs before most of this shit gets enacted.
We got a refrigerator. Needed one anyway but rushed it a couple months back because I saw the writing on the wall.
we got one too, end of december, because we knew the tariffs were coming.
buying dental hygiene products, items for my newly persisting PDs, that should last me a while. Rx will be more complicated though. i got most of last years prescription, just refilled each month eventhough i havnt finished the current ones, so i can just ration that for my dermatitis.
i recently bought oneplus12r which is a chinese product, glad i bought it before he began the tariffs, this has a large battery life so it would last a while, better than pixels and iphones. hate to say i do have to use prime for most of my shopping, only way to get things on the cheap without be gouged by big chain stores.
Might upgrade to a Pixel 8 from my current Pixel 6. I want to get security updates until at least the end of this administration.
Am six months away from my four year cycle of a new iPhone. Bit the bullet last night on a current model while the carrier still offering top dollar for trade-in, and there are no tariffs.
I bought some screen protectors off aliexpress. 1 week shipping instead of 4 weeks. Aliexpress has seriously improved since I last bought from them.
Bought shrimp and rice at costco
probably better to get the 50+lb rice bags from asian markets. the white gallons drums are useful for holding the rice, and keeping it away from pests.
I just panic bought a new phone, after realizing mine probably won't make it a year.
Same.
i had to buy one because the 5A screen decided to die from a small drop. i bought OP12R.
I have everything I need, but my partner bought a massive bag of rice.
An air conditioner and a swamp cooler
Guns
Ammo, too
Miller trailblazer 330. I scrounged and worked ot like a mad man to buy it before this bs started cause paying an extra 3-4k just because. Well fuck that.
Audio gear. Car parts. Laptop. All were due for an upgrade anyway.
We are buying supplies to do fixes in our home like fresh paint, to get it up for market.
