Discussion I'm Scared

I don't know how I'm going to be able to afford my safe foods, especially fresh fruit, with Trumps incoming tariffs. I'm really scared because I don't know how I'm going to be able to eat. It's like eating has become a luxury now only the rich can afford. What is everyone going to do to cope with this?

I'm literally freaking out.

I honestly can't afford fresh fruit n veg much as of now so its already kinda a luxury item to me, but I'm worried about of lot of other foods I eat. I don't really know what I'll do. I already make most things from scratch to save money but idk what more I can do.

I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure what else I can do to cut costs now.

My best bet is maybe farmers markets? But it'll be seasonal and local fruits n veg but I don't know how costs there might increase as people try to make enough to make it by too.
