Please stop talking to me about companies

Please give me a daily or monthly product and the exact increase in costs please

Lets analyze batteries

I buy batteries at costco for $15 that lasts me 6mnths. So i might have to pay 20 now so in one year thats a 10 increase so less then a dollar per month

Please continue with more examples

I'm not sure exactly what your are trying to prove here. The fact is that the tariffs will impact costs for consumers - the larger the %, the larger the impact and 25% is a large impact. The actual damage will vary and unfortunately like most policies - the true impact will be viewed from the Monday morning QB role several months from now...until then, the exact details will be foggy.

If you are looking for answers in daily commodities such as groceries, then I can't see the direct impact on milk, bread, or water. But all of those companies purchase items that are needed to run their factory and those costs will be passed on. You say to stop talking about companies, but it's relevant...b/c they provide you the goods.
