A few companies have sent emails explaining the increase in cost. Nothing could cost more than it did during the pandemic and no one bothered to apologize then; if we got through that then we will make it through this, no problem. Some companies never brought their pricing back down even after the pandemic so I'm guessing they have some room to absorb the tariffs- imo. During the pandemic we learned to conserve and reuse as much as possible so it was a great lesson on how sustainable we could actually be! It's just a new challenge a great way to test our resilience 🙃...challenge accepted!
