Cooper, Michelin
Cooper- not all are made in America. The have facilities in Mexico, Serbia, and China.
Michelin produces in Canada and Mexico, as well.
The prices will go up across the board to cover the costs.

I feel your pain. The weird thing is that my wife's daily purchase is mostly pills. She has about 100 bottles. Half of them guarantee to keep you young looking and half guarantee to keep you skinny. None of them come from foreign countries so there are no tariffs.
Even if products are 100% produced in the US, their prices will go up.
Think about it - you make a widget that is made in the US and you charge $10 for it. Your competitor imports from China and charges $10. Now your competitor needs to charge $12 to offset tariffs. You can now raise your price to $11 and you’ll be cheaper than your competitor while making more $/unit. Who losses in this situation? The American consumer.

Can you freeze dry with a vacuum sealer?
I don't think so. The process is freezing to crystalize any and all moisture, vacuum and airflow to remove the moisture and some other tech to trap it. Not sure vacuum sealing alone would do much.

SMH.... im not

I have all I need and can fix damn near anything. My happiness doesn’t depend on material things.

I am panic buying French and Italian wine.

I highly recommend Romanian wine. Excellent, well priced, and not affected by tariffs.

I’m not

It won’t change a thing for me. I do my best to buy American made products, but I’m still gonna buy things based on my needs or wants. This bullshite international economic throwdown is what it is…it will not rule my life.

Not much - we are pretty price mindful as it is....Puddin Pop accelerated it, though

I pulled the trigger on a new car because I don’t want to deal with it. I put in the order and they locked in my price. Hope they don’t back out on that since it’ll be a few months before it comes in.

I'm going to go about life as I have before, knowing that all this bullshite is fabricated. I will know that even if I pay more in the very short term, the long term benefits of this policy, if we stay the course, will more than pay dividends.
History lesson..... no true economic policy shift that was positive was instituted without short term pain.
This will be another, and possibly one of the greatest.

I homebrewed for years but haven't done it in about 9 or 10 years. It's not cheaper than just buying booze, it's' only cool if you really like doing it. Similar to fishing. The cost of a boat, tackle, trailer, time, cleaning, you can just buy fish from the store. But if you really love fishing, you can't put a price on that.
