So you haven't bought anything but a toothbrush in years?

No clothing, food, automobiles or automobile repair and maintenance parts,no furniture, no kitchen goods or appliances, no lights, flashlights or lightbulbs.

You've never eaten shrimp, catfish, garlic, apple juice from concentrate, honey, codfish, bread,candy or cocoa butter?

You do spend a lot of time on your computer on this forum. That's probably a good thing, because if you went out, all you'd be wearing is a ball cap and carrying a toothbrush with no toothpaste! LOL

I know some hard core protectionist such as my brother in law who is a electrician. However even he buys goods made in China. We were doing an addition to my house and we went to Lowes to get some materials. Did he or I look at every single item and look for the made in China label?

No. We wanted to get a 6 hour job done and not look at labels for 2 hours.

We both try to buy Made in America products as much as possible but we also have a life and realize we cannot spend precious hours of each day comparing labels.

If you have truly only bought 2-3 items made in China since 1989, and you remember what they were, which I really doubt, you need hardcore professional pschyiatric help. There is a serious mental illness involved.

I did buy some socks at T.J.Maxx yesterday, so I wouldn’t have to walk in my bare feet this winter. Made in U.S.A. (Gold Toe). I’m heading out to the grocery store in a short while, I’ll let you know where my garlic comes from . . . I don’t drink apple juice from concentrate, I drink apple juice made in U.S.A. with U.S.-grown apples (Indian Summer). I don’t eat catfish, I’ll let you know the next time I buy shrimp (which is rarely). My honey comes from May’s Honey Farms in Harvard, Illinois.
