Tariffs are now affecting retail prices of imports; Here's how you can save money
Walmart has finally said what a lot of what many stores have been hedging about: Ot's about to start raising prices because of tariffs, but it turns out some retailers are already doing just that.
Some of the first people to notice price hikes in the recent weeks were Temu and Shein shoppers, like Brenda Buschle.
'I buy a lot of stuff for my business,' said Buschle. 'This shirt is from Temu!'
When the new Chinese tariffs hit, she says, prices on some items doubled.
'I had ordered a 3-pack of Capri pants,' said Buschle. 'They were $17, and they went up to $36.'
Days later, we spoke with fish market owner Richard Barlion, who says his suppliers have raised some 10 percent.'Cod has been going up,' said Barlion. 'Halibut, that's Nova Scotia, Canada, swordfish is from Brazil through Mexico.'
It's not just direct from China items, or imported food in your fridge, that are starting to see tariffs, as a number of retailers are now starting to raise prices.
With a 30 percent tariff on Chinese imports and a 25 percent tariff on imported cars:
Ford has just announced price hikes on cars made in Mexico, like the Bronco Sport and Mustang Mach-E.
Stanley Black and Decker says it is starting to raise prices on tools and other Chinese-made items.
Nintendo and Microsoft have just raised prices on gaming controllers and accessories.
CNBC says many Amazon third-party sellers are starting to raise prices. Now, as U.S. warehouses start to run out of pre-tariff items…
'It's eventually going to run out, and they are going to have to raise prices even more,' said Buschle.
If you are on the bubble about a big purchase this summer, you might want to buy it sooner rather than later, so you don't waste your money.

This humanoid robot dominated the track events at the ‘robot Olympics'
The first-ever World Humanoid Robot Olympics has wrapped up in Beijing, China, and one particular robot shone in the track events. Built by Chinese firm Unitree Robotics, the H1 humanoid robot helped the team to pick up four gold medals, three silver, and four bronze at the three-day contest, which saw more 280 teams from 16 countries showcasing around 500 humanoid robots. The events included not only athletics but also gymnastics, boxing, music performances, and more. The performances revealed the many advancements made by such robots in recent years, as developers work to apply these capabilities to real-world scenarios in the home and workplace. While videos shared online over the weekend showed plenty of robots tumbling over (and getting up again), Unitree's H1 robot performed impressively in track events that included the 1,500 meters, 400 meters, 100 meters obstacle, and 4×100 meters relay. The robot's first gold came in the 1,500 meters, which it completed with ease in just over 6 minutes and 34 seconds (the world record is 3 minutes and 26 seconds). Footage (top) posted on YouTube by Unitree shows the H1 running at a steady pace as it stormed to victory. Hitting a top speed of 4.78 meters a second, the humanoid robot's running style closely resembled that of a top athlete, with its arms and legs moving in perfect sync to maintain balance, speed, and momentum. Unitree founder and CEO Wang Xingxing described H1's success at the Games as 'meaningful,' as the robot was the first among several humanoid robots made by the company since it was founded in 2016. Unitree recently made the news with the R1, an ultra-lightweight, fully customizable humanoid robot capable of walking, running, dancing, and much more besides. Priced at $5,900, Unitree is aiming the bipedal bot at developers, tech enthusiasts, research labs, and educational institutions.

ROSEN, NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS, Encourages Fiserv, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 17, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Fiserv, Inc. (NYSE: FI) between July 24, 2024 and July 22, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important September 22, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Fiserv common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Fiserv class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 22, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) due to cost issues and other problems with its older Payeezy platform, Fiserv forced Payeezy merchants to migrate to its Clover platform; (2) Clover's revenue growth and gross payment volume ('GPV'), the total monetary value of transactions processed through Clover, were temporarily and unsustainably boosted by these forced conversions, which concealed a slowdown in new merchant business; (3) shortly after these conversions, a significant portion of former Payeezy merchants switched to competing solutions due to Clover's high pricing, significant down time, and systematic compatibility issues; (4) as a result of these merchant losses, Clover's GPV growth was significantly slowing, and its revenue growth was unsustainable; and (5) based on the foregoing, Fiserv's positive Class Period statements about Clover's growth strategies, competition, attrition, GPV growth, and business prospects were materially false and misleading. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Fiserv class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ------------------------------- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq.
