Buy all the durable necessities you need then stop buying. Unless it is a made in the USA product.

I am trying.
The Wranger jeans I am wearing were made in Mexico. My underware was made in Vietnam, socks in the Dominican Republic. I actually did buy some white socks at my local grocery store that were made in the USA. The belt I am wearing was made in the USA. The boots too. I know because I looked before I purchased all of the above.

As much as we try it is realy hard to not buy Made in China products. For example; I went to a local independently owned Truevalue hardware store to purchase a humidifier for my bedroom. The old Sunbeam unit died after about 20 years. All three products that the hardware store had available for sale were made in China. I bought one. It was another Sunbeam.

This is the same story with most power tools. Almost all are made in China. Although, I did buy a Stihl hedge trimmer that was made in Austria. The battery was made in Germany.
