SO instead you'll be shopping at Target, Sear, K-Mart?

They ALL sell stuff from China.

I dare say that you can hardly shop anywhere where there is not something you WANT made in China.

Yes you are correct, it is too late. Nothing is made here any longer. These days I look for made in UK, made in Japan, made in Tiawan or made in India, etc. I used to look for made in France/Germany but screw them too.

I can think of plenty.

Food: grocery stores such as Publix (in Florida.)

Electronics: Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, or various online stores (there are plenty of good ones with prices are lower than Wal*Mart's, and the Chinese aren't in the business of selling PC components.)

Clothing: hit the mall. Don't buy from The Gap or other such designer stores, but stick with the department stores and you'll be alright.

Furniture: I've yet to see a couch with "made in China" on the back.

Home supplies: Home Depot and Lowe's. Don't need Wal*Mart's tool isle.

The great thing is that all of these stores are usually within a few minutes' drive of each other, traffic considered. Pretty much all I buy at Wal*Mart these days are pencils, pens, and the occasional small CD rack.
