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.

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.
We got a refrigerator. Needed one anyway but rushed it a couple months back because I saw the writing on the wall.

Sadly, I have no way to import a KMR L--02 Orca OR, since the ATF makes it such a pain in the ass to import onsey-twosey, and the tariffs mean that if they ever get a US distributor, it's going to be out of my price range.
But I did get a CZ Shadow 2 Compact a week ago, and that's going to be my carry and competition gun for however long these tariffs last.
I'm going to have to get a few pounds of powder, primers, and a few thousand bullets (the projectile part), because all of that is going in increase in costs, too. I was quoted a price of $315 or so for 8# of Vihtavouri N-135 powder; I'll probably try to get 16-24#, 15,000 small rifle primers, and at least 8-12# of Ramshot Silhouette powder. About half of the raw materials to make bullets--lead, copper, brass, nitrocellulose, etc.--end up being imported, because we simply can't keep up or don't have the mines.
Czech here, also own the CZ Shadow 2 (full size), it is such a pleasure to shoot.

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.
I bought some screen protectors off aliexpress. 1 week shipping instead of 4 weeks. Aliexpress has seriously improved since I last bought from them.
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.
I just panic bought a new phone, after realizing mine probably won't make it a year.
Same.

Audio gear. Car parts. Laptop. All were due for an upgrade anyway.
An air conditioner and a swamp cooler
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.
Guns
Ammo, too
We are buying supplies to do fixes in our home like fresh paint, to get it up for market.
I ordered a Powkiddy RGB30, although I’m not really sure how the tariffs will impact this since it’s coming from China (I bought it before the 104%)
