I live 2 hours from the nearest Costco. Here are 10 items worth the 130-mile drive.
There are no Costco stores in Wyoming, so I drive 130 miles out of state to shop there every month. Bulk shopping helps keep my grocery bill in check. I always stock up on items like toilet paper, Greek yogurt, and gluten-free snacks. I didn't know just how vital Costco was to my household until we moved from Denver to Sheridan, Wyoming. Alongside Rhode Island and West Virginia, Wyoming is one of three states without any Costco locations. Despite my husband and I being DINKWADs (dual income, no kids, with a dog), we're accustomed to shopping in bulk, in part because we grew up in rural areas where it's common to do so. It also helps us stretch our grocery budget. Now, when I make my monthly two-hour drive to Costco in Billings, Montana, I never leave the store without these 10 items. Kirkland Signature plain Greek yogurt is the most versatile ingredient in my fridge. Better Than Bouillon roasted beef base is my secret sauce. In my opinion, the Better Than Bouillon roasted beef base tastes much richer than boxed broths, so it's great for making stews and soups. I also like to use it for gravies, marinades, and slow-cooked meats. I make sure 80% of my cart is filled with produce. I like to buy organic produce, like the Josie's Organics baby spinach, at Costco because I can get more for my money than I do at my local grocery store. The Simple Mills almond flour crackers are a great gluten-free snack. Liquid IV is my not-so-guilty pleasure. When I can fit it into my grocery budget, Liquid IV is one of my splurge items. Having these hydration packets on hand, especially in the hotter months living at higher elevations, is a game changer for me. I've noticed that when I use them, I get fewer headaches and cramps post-workout. I also like to pour them over ice with a lime wedge for a dinnertime mocktail. This bag of Kirkland Signature frozen shrimp will be thawed in time for dinner. In my experience, it can be hard to find good seafood that won't bust my grocery budget. That's why I always grab a bag of Kirkland Signature frozen shrimp. Plus, it's thawed by the time I get home, so I can make dinner quickly. Kirkland Signature eggs are a great value. A dozen eggs can cost nearly $6 at my local grocery store. So, I love that I can get a 24-pack of Kirkland Signature eggs at Costco for $8.20. Pure Protein Bars make the perfect road trip snack. I always snag a box of these Pure Protein bars at Costco as part of my high-protein diet. They're a great road trip snack for my drive home, too. I will never stop buying Charmin toilet paper in bulk. For me, buying toilet paper in bulk isn't just about saving money. It's also about my irrational fear of running out — fueled by the shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic. Periodically, Costco will run a sale, and I'll buy two packages of Charmin at a time. Before heading home, I always remember to fuel up.

Companies Weigh Price Increases, Manufacturing Moves as Trump Tariffs Hit
Executives have explained how they're handling import taxes on recent earnings calls, with many companies saying they plan to recoup their costs through price increases. Some companies, such as the parent company of Huggies, Kleenex and Scott toilet paper, said raising prices will be hard if competitors source locally. A few businesses detailed plans to shift production. Others said they're waiting for more clarity on US trade policy to finalize are the talk of the boardroom. With the first-quarter earnings season in full swing, executives have been busy explaining how they're handling new import taxes. Several businesses plan to recoup costs through price increases, though some worry they'll lose customers if they charge more. Some companies detailed plans to shift production, while others said they're waiting for more clarity on US trade policy. 'We have factories in … basically in every region of the world. But we don't want to take any measures that's on something that might be temporary,' Nicolas Hieronimus, CEO of the beauty company L'Oreal, said last week, according to a transcript made available by AlphaSense. 'So we are watching carefully what's happening and trying to figure out what will be [the] end game.' Price increases are likely at a number of companies, from Procter & Gamble (PG), which makes household goods like Tide, Charmin and Dawn, to Hermès, the France-based luxury goods giant. American customers will pay more for Hermès' goods beginning next month, CNBC reported, adding that the price hikes are being used to offset tariffs, and therefore, won't be occurring in other markets. Hasbro (HAS) CEO Chris Cocks said price increases were unavoidable, but had to be done carefully. About half of Hasbro's games and toys originate in China, which means tariffs may reduce its profit by $60 million to $180 million this year, executives said this week. 'We definitely think $9.99 and $19.99 [price points] are important,' Cocks said. Raising prices is risky, some companies said. Michael Hsu, CEO of Kimberly-Clark (KMB), the parent company of Huggies, Kleenex and Scott toilet paper, said some competitors source locally, so charging more may make Kimberly-Clark less competitive. Kimberly-Clark will seek to mitigate a $300 million annual hit from tariffs primarily through supply chain shifts, Hsu said this week. 'We're trying to be disciplined on price,' Hsu said. He told analysts consumers were wary because they're 'maybe two years removed from what I would call an inflation super cycle.' Some businesses have moves in mind. Hyundai plans to shift production of the Tucson, a compact SUV, executives said this week. US-bound vehicles now made in Mexico could be constructed in Alabama, while the Mexican plant turns out cars for the Canadian market, they said. Lakeland Industries (LAKE), a protective apparel manufacturer, outlined a similar strategy this month for the production of 'turnout gear' used by firefighters. Many companies are waiting to see what trade policies President Donald Trump's administration settles on. Trump delayed the implementation of deficit-based tariffs until July, saying he would give countries time to negotiate with his team. He has also expressed the desire to reach an agreement with China, which is charging a more than 100% tax on American imports in response to a similarly high duty on its exports to the US. Flexsteel Industries (FLXS), an Iowa-based furniture company, is gauging how supply chain adjustments would play out depending on how trade policy evolves, CEO Derek Schmidt said this week. (It has also imposed a 'modest' surcharge on products imported from Vietnam, which account for 55% of company revenue.) 'We've more aggressively started to seek out potential suppliers in other parts of the world,' Schmidt said. 'And as soon as we have more clarity, ultimately, on where the trade policy and tariff discussions go, I think we can move fairly quickly to optimize our supply chain.' Tariffs are already impacting sales, for better and for worse. Boeing (BA), a domestic airplane manufacturer, said it was unlikely to send 50 aircraft to Chinese customers as planned this year. Clients won't accept the planes because they're now subject to retaliatory tariffs on American goods, CEO Kelly Ortberg said this week. Boeing is assessing ways to market those planes to others, he said. 'It's an unfortunate situation, but we have many customers who want near-term deliveries, so we plan to redirect the supply,' Ortberg said. The US appliance company Whirlpool (WHR) told analysts that, in time, tariffs will help it compete with businesses that manufacture in Asia. And demand is already picking up at Kaiser Aluminum (KALU), a Tennessee-based company that makes aluminum products for packages, car companies and other clients. 'We started to see business start to navigate our way, where historically it may have gone to imports and other things,' CEO Keith Harvey said this week. Read the original article on Investopedia

Tariff turmoil: What P&G, Pepsi and other companies are saying about tariffs
Tariff worries continue hanging over companies as they report their latest financial results and try to provide guidance on their path ahead. Some tariffs remain in place against key U.S. trading partners, but others have been postponed to give nations time to negotiate. The tariff and trade picture continues shifting and that makes it difficult for companies and investors to make a reliable assessment of any impact to costs and sales. Seemingly few industries or companies are being spared from the uncertainty. Food and beverage businesses, pharmaceutical companies, and makers of household staples are among the many companies trying to gauge the potential impact to costs and sales. A new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that companies are right to be focused on tariffs. About 6 in 10 U.S. adults are "extremely" or "very" concerned about the cost of groceries in the next few months, while about half are highly concerned about the cost of big purchases, such as a car, cellphone or appliance Here's what companies are saying about tariffs and their potential impact: Procter & Gamble Procter & Gamble, the maker of such products as Crest toothpaste, Tide detergent and Charmin toilet paper, said Thursday said it's doing whatever it can to reduce higher costs from President Donald Trump's expansive tariffs from shifting sourcing to changing formulation to avoid duties. But P&G's Chief Financial Officer Andre Schulten told reporters on a call that the consumer products giant still will likely have to pass on higher prices to shoppers as early as July. The consumer product giant reduced its annual financial outlook after reporting lower sales, particularly in the U.S. and Western Europe, during the latest quarter, due to a pullback in consumer spending over worries about tariffs as well as overall financial worries about job security and mortgage rates. "Everything plays into the consumer behavior," Schulten said. "Uncertainty around the stock market and what their 401ks are worth and what the portfolio is worth. Uncertainty around the economic outlook and what it means for their livelihood and the job market." Pepsi PepsiCo lowered its full-year earnings expectations, citing increased costs from tariffs and a pullback in consumer spending. The maker of Pepsi beverages and Frito-Lay snacks said it now expects its core earnings per share to be even with last year. Previously it expected mid-single-digit percentage growth. A 25% tariff on imported aluminum is among those hitting PepsiCo and other beverage makers. The company expects "elevated levels of volatility and uncertainty" for the rest of this year. Merck Merck trimmed its earnings forecast for the year, though it maintained its guidance for revenue. The pharmaceutical giant has a global reach. Half of its revenue comes from the U.S. market, with the rest of the world making up the other half, according to FactSet. The company expects tariffs already implemented to cost the company about USD 200 million. American Airlines American Airlines withdrew its earnings forecast for the year amid uncertainty over the economy. While tariffs might not directly impact airlines and other companies in the travel sector, they could prompt a shift in consumer spending. Tariffs typically make goods more expensive and that might force consumers to tighten their budgets and focus more on necessities, while cutting back on discretionary items and services, such as travel. Southwest Airlines Southwest Airlines is trimming its flight schedule for the second half of the year due to lower demand. The company also said it could not reaffirm its 2025 and 2026 outlooks for earnings before interest and taxes, given "current macroeconomic uncertainty." Dow Chemical company Dow expects to see delays in purchases from businesses and consumers amid tariff-driven economic uncertainty. "Markets worldwide are awaiting additional clarity into how the tariff and global trade negotiations will land," said CEO Jim Fitterling, in a statement. The company is delaying construction of a facility in Alberta, Canada and expects capital expense savings of about USD 1 billion from that decision. It is also expanding an ongoing review of its assets in Europe, including facilities in Germany and the U.K.
