Made in USA: Enlightening (Save your $ and help the American companies too.)

From: jimmy Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 Subject: MADE IN USA: ENLIGHTENING

     Costco sells  Goodyear wiper blades for almost half the price that you  will pay on the outside and they are made in the USA- Very  Encouraging
Unfortunately our politicians and top CEO's 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 a report made byDiane  Sawyer.  Hopefully this has changed or will soon!!
    I DIDN'T KNOW  HALLMARK CARDS WERE MADE IN CHINA! That is also 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 US. 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 was 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, 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 theUSA.
    Support the products that are " Made in the  USA"
