You might want to look twice at those. Many people call it ChinaMart, but it’s really surprising how much stuff they sell that isn’t made in China.

The Walmart “Equate” brand multivitamins sitting here on my desk are made by Leiner Health Products of Carson California.

My wife and I both suffer from allergies that require Zyrtec. Other antihistamines don’t work as well. The local Navy clinic (I’m USN Retired) doesn’t carry it, so we have to buy it. The Wal-Mart Equate brand is about half the price of real Zyrtec. Just one example of savings at Wal-Mart.

Here is another example. I bought a couple of fishing rods and reels for $60 a set. Found the exact ones at Bass Pro Shop for $99.

And Wal-Mart doesn’t necessarily kill the local competition. Two years ago a Supercenter opened near us, right next to a K-Mart and across from a Food Lion. Both stores still carry on a good amount of business. I think some people go to the K-Mart to get away from the Wal-Mart crowds. I do. And the Food Lion has better meats and produce.

Does the bottle stated the nation of origin? Because the bottle discloses the manufacture’s business address doesn’t mean that is where it is made.
