CBS News is tracking the rising cost of products, including those most likely to be impacted by tariffs imposed earlier this year and new ones announced by President Trump on August 1, from the cost of common grocery items to the price of owning a vehicle.
Economists and other experts say consumers can expect to see higher prices in coming weeks and months for imported items.
Perhaps the most impacted day-to-day purchases for American families will be at the grocery store, where a large share of our most commonly purchased fruits and vegetables are imported from Mexico, Canada, China and other countries facing tariffs. Experts suggest the cost of those tariffs will be passed on to consumers in the grocery checkout lane.
The categories in this tracker reflect a selection from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index and average price data. We focused on goods and services that make up a meaningful share of household budgets and have noted with a special orange marker those that could be affected most by tariffs.
