ACE HARDWARE - Made in the USA - Very Encouraging
READ ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM! LOTS OF GOOD INFO HERE!
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 CEOs 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 the a report by Diane Sawyer. Hopefully this has changed or will soon!!
I DIDN'T KNOW HALLMARK CARDS WERE MADE IN CHINA That's 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 USA. 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 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 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 the USA .
I passed this on.. ..Will you??? If you care about American workers, you will pass it on
Though not strictly HAM...I still use an SBE Console II radio. Made in California.
Over the years I have modified it to add other bands besides 11 meter and expanded frequencies.
But you're right. It's hard to beat the affordability and relative quality of the foreign units.
Also, don’t assume that a product with a “foreign” sounding name is necessarily made over there.
If you want a car with the most USA made content available, your best bet may well be Toyota or Honda.
Indeed every product sold from China is helping feed their war
machine and they are way ahead of us now.
How is that working out?
This is why democrats and rinos had to take out PDJT.
Most of his 2015 escalator speech, in which he announced his presidency, dealt with what he would do with the CCP.
That was a declaration of war against the entrenched DC interests.
They must remove this threat to their wealth.
Sadly, most Freepers will just keep on voting. As if it matters.
The threat of Donald Trump's Escalator Speech.
I remember that. Never bought on. It is hard to find stuff made in America, especially at globalist retailers like Amazon. If congress wanted to actually do something useful, they could mandate country of origin labeling prominently on all online sales.
In regards complex devices, check “fine print”. Many have all their components (e.g., motors, etc) made in China (i.e., controlled by the CCP) but assemble the stuff in the states.
