Everyday Products To Buy Before Tariffs Take Effect

Remember all that tariff hubbub? While the conversation may have quieted since Trump’s self-declared “Liberation Day” on April 2, 2025 — when he launched a trade war by way of threatening “reciprocal” tariffs on virtually all imports — the August 1 deadline is just a day away.

After tomorrow, countries will be required to strike deals or face even steeper tariffs. That means both retailers and manufacturers are expecting to raise prices on everyday essentials, tech products, cars and more to offset the increased production costs. For the record, none of America’s top three trading partners — China, Mexico and Canada — have struck a deal.

So what does this mean for you, the American consumer? Expect to pay more on those household essentials.

If you’re already feeling the pinch from inflation, it might be smart to stock up before prices jump even higher.

While the full impact of these tariffs is yet to be seen, we do know that household staples like paper towels, cleaning supplies, packaged goods and more are expected to be affected. If you’re planning to stock up ahead of Trump’s tariff deadline, we’ve rounded up some smart buys below.

The Real Deal: We use deal trackers and commerce experience to sift through “fake” hike-and-drop deals and other deceptive sales tactics. Products will usually be rated at least 4 stars with a minimum 15% discount. (And when there’s an exception, we’ll tell you why.)

Tide laundry detergent

P&G announced it’s increasing prices on 25% of its products, and we have a hunch that includes one of its biggest labels: Tide products. A spokesperson said that while company manufactures roughly 90% of its products domestically, it still imports raw ingredients and packaging materials from China.

The smart buy here is purchasing liquid detergent, which can clean more laundry loads than pods, though we do understand the grab-and-drop convenience that pods offer on a hectic day. In any case, right now, you can actually save 33% off by using coupon code STOCKUPPG at checkout. (It’s as if the company already anticipated this!) Note, however, you must buy four items to get this deal, including one detergent and three “fabric enhancers.”

Clorox disinfecting wipes

During a May 5 earnings call, Clorox CFO Luc Bellet said the company would have to change its supply chain sources to offset an estimated $100 million tariff hit to its business. While the company hasn’t explicitly stated that it’ll increase its prices, we have a hunch its cleaning products will be affected by the latest tariff increases due to their chemicals and packaging materials.

Use code STOCKUPSAVE at checkout and you’ll get a $15 Amazon credit to your purchase if you spend $50 on these wipes and select other cleaning products.

Charmin toilet paper

Remember the toilet paper shortage of 2020? Yeah, everyone dreads being stuck without it again. Well, Charmin is one of those brands speculating to increase in price these upcoming weeks, so stock up while you can.

Each pack that Charmin sells on Amazon has an on-page coupon to score you a few dollars off, while using the “STOCKUPSAVE” coupon code at checkout should get you an extra $15 with your purchase of $50 or more.

(Or, pro-tip: You can always buy a bidet for less waste.)

Pampers diapers

Pampers, another label Procter & Gamble brand, is suspected to rise in the coming weeks due to their raw materials and packaging sourced from China.

Right now, Amazon has a few on-page coupons to take $1 or $2 off select diaper packs. You can also save up to $25 by adding three packs to your cart on select sizes.

Bounty paper towels

Another P&G staple we fully expect to see raised prices for is the beloved Bounty and its array of paper products. Practically synonymous with paper towels, this large package is already a bulk buy with a slight discount. Grab some more before the price breaks $30.

Clip the on-page $2 off coupon to nab an eight-pack for $28.99 or the $3 off coupon to nab a 12-pack for $39.99. Use code STOCKUPSAVE at checkout and you’ll get a $15 Amazon credit to your purchase if you spend $50 in cleaning products — not hard to do considering the already high price of these items.

Tech and appliances are also likely to increase in price due to tariffs soon. Check out what else you can save on today down below:

This 8-in-1 Cuisinart air fryer toaster oven with a grill

HuffPost shopping writer Erica Kam bought an older model of this Cuisinart air fryer oven three years ago that she still swears by, but it has since been discontinued (though you can still purchase it on Amazon). This newer model still has the seven functions she loved using on the old one (air fry, toast, bake, convection bake, broil, convection broil and warm), but it’s also been upgraded with a grill feature and includes a dual-sided grill and griddle plate.

She says it’s super useful for saving counter space on so many appliances — not to mention making mealtime arrive so much faster and without heating up the whole kitchen like a traditional oven would. Considering it’s garnered over 1,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, reviewers seem to agree.

Promising Amazon review: “This oven is very simple to operate, with a set of four knobs to select the cooking mode, oven temperature, baking timer, and toast darkness. It is kind of “retro” with no digital controls or screens to wade through, which we really like. We have had this for about a month now, and it has operated perfectly and meets all of our needs. It is also compact and fits well on our counter. At a fraction of the price of more elaborate air fryer/toaster ovens, this is a great buy in our opinion.” — Daniel Miller

My husband doesn’t like the extra lights where I love them, so with the app I can turn it off and on with ease. Oh and it has a washable filter AND a HEPA filter. The app will tell you the filter life. With having 2 dogs it’s important to have a good air filter for handle the pets AND environmental allergies where we live.
