Imported dark Belgian (high percentage cacao) chocolate? You know the "healthy" kind that most probably like less than cheap domestic milk chocolate but provides some flavonoid and antioxidant benefits and is easier to eat in moderation? UP 25% over what I paid last month at Trader Joe's...

The two staples that I know Kroger distributes but are produced in Canada-- that I frequently purchase--off the shelves in my store (and throughout those in a 15-mile radius from an online perusal).. I did score some with a home delivery purchase.

Will this blow over if the tariffs are lifted QUICKLY? LIkely. But I'm not sure Trump is going to allow that to happen.
