Shopping for America
HELLO ALL ! ! ! I think it’s time we all started REALLY supporting
our OWN country in whatever way we can, DON’T YOU ? ? ?
I DIDN'T KNOW HALLMARK CARDS WERE MADE IN CHINA ! That is also why I
don't buy cards at Hallmark anymore, They are made in China and are
more expensive! I buy them at Dollar Tree - 50 cents or $1.00 each
and made in USA!
Yesterday I was in Wal Mart looking for a wastebasket. I found some
made in China for $6.99. I didn't want to pay that much so I asked
the lady if they had any others. She took me to another department
and they had some at 2.50 made in USA . They are just as good. Same
as a kitchen rug I needed. I had to look, but I found some made in
the USA - what a concept! - and they were 3.00 cheaper.
We are being brainwashed to believe that everything that comes from
China and Mexico is cheaper. Not so.
One Light Bulb at a Time...I was in Lowe's the other day and just
out of curiosity, I looked at the hose attachments. They were all
made in China. The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just for the
heck of it I checked the hose attachments there. They were made in
USA .
Start looking, people . . ...In our current economic situation,
every little thing we buy or do affects someone else - most often,
their job. I have been looking at the blenders available on the
Internet. Kitchen Aid is MADE IN the US. Top of my list already...
My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is now
marked "made in Mexico ." I don't buy it anymore.
My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico ... now I have
switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on everything.
This past weekend I was at Kroger . . . I needed 60W light bulbs and
Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next
to the GE brand I normally buy -- was an off-brand labeled,
"Everyday Value." I picked up both types of bulbs and compared them:
they were the same except for the price . . .the GE bulbs cost more
than the Everyday Value brand, but the thing that surprised me the
most was that that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value
brand was made in - you guessed it - the USA at a company in
Cleveland, Ohio.
It's way past time to start finding and buying products you use
every day that are made right here.
So, on to the next aisle: Bounce Dryer Sheets... yep, you guessed
it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada . The Everyday
Value brand cost less, and was MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry
yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I
have been using for years, at almost half the price.
My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for
everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA -
the job you save may be your own or your neighbors!
If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address
book so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time!
Stop buying from overseas companies - you're sending the jobs there.
(We should have awakened a decade ago....)
Let's get with the program and help our fellow Americans keep their
jobs and create more jobs here in the USA.
