*ONE AT A TIME*
A physics teacher in high school, once told the
students that while one grasshopper on the railroad
tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a billion of
them would. With that thought in mind, read the
following, obviously written by a good American . . .
This probably sounds crazy, but just 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 and they were $3.00
cheaper. We are being brain washed that everything
that comes from China and Mexico is cheaper. Not so.
That is also why I don't buy cards at Hallmark
anymore. They are made in China and are expensive. I
buy them at Dollar Tree....50 cents each and made in
USA .
Check this out. I can verify this because I was in
Lowe's the other day for some reason and just for
the heck of it I was looking 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 .....
In our current economic situation, every little
thing we buy or do affects someone else - even their
job. So, after reading this email, I think this lady
is on the right track.. Let's get behind her!
__My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I
noticed, though, that it is marked made in
Mexico now.
I do not buy it any more.
My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in
Mexico ... Now I have switched to Crest. You
have to read the labels on
everything....Good idea . . .. One light
bulb at a time . . ..
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
the stats they were the same except for the
price . . . The GE bulbs were more money
than the Everyday Value brand but the thing
that surprised me the most was the fact that
GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value
brand was made in - get ready for this - the
USA in a company in Cleveland, Ohio.
So throw out the myth that you cannot find
products you use every day that are made
right here...
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer
Sheets... Yep, you guessed it, Bounce cost
more money and is made in Canada ... The
Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE
IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the
dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce
Free I have been using for years and 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 neighbors!
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!
(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 ...
