Buy American

PAY ATTENTION FOLKS."...IT IS YOUR BUSINESS
Costco sells Goodyear wiper blades for almost half the price that you
will pay on the outside and they are made in the U.S.A.
Read and do the following.
Unfortunately our politicians and top CEO's have pushed for trade to
China and Mexico for years so Americans are now out of work. Did you
know that there is no electric coffee maker made in the US and that
the only kitchen appliances made in the US is Viking?
This information came from a report made by Diane Sawyer. Hopefully
this has changed or will soon!
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 each and made in
USA
I have been looking at the blenders available on the Internet.
Kitchen Aid is MADE IN the US . Top of my list already...
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.
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 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.
I recently ordered a large box of Christian cards from Christianbook.com ; all made in CHINA, & at least
six were printed too wierd to use!
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 neighbor's!
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 theUSA.
Support the products that are Made in the USA.
