You miss-remembered
I said in my situation, our gasoline prices are so low that it offsets the extra cost elsewhere. No more, no less.
Ive also said I choose to be economically optimistic regardless of who is President
We will save a lot over last year's expenses on gasoline alone
My premise was that anybody in an area with .30 less in a gallon of gasoline per 3 fillups saves the extra 2.9% per every $350 spent on tariff-raised prices so far.
Additionally, Ive shown just earlier today where in my home zipcodes and overall region have lower CPI virtually across the board, and in some categories a lot less.
At my age and income level, once a President is in office, I want the economy to run smoothly. I don't have the years to piss around with anymore
I wasn't to far off.

You were comparing additional costs to what you expected for savings. Unfortunately for me, or fortunately, I do not expect the same savings to offset the price increases I am seeing.
And I'm in the same situation as you. If things work out well for me I can afford the good dog food in my retirement.
