A friend of mine sent this to me, TODAY—they
live in Pennsylvania , and I think it is worth reading
and worth passing along and DEFINITELY
WORTH DOING….
READ IT, PASS IT ON AND JUST LOOK A
LITTLE MORE CAREFULLY FOR THE
“MADE IN AMERICA ” BRANDS—
WE HAVE GOT TO GET THIS COUNTRY MOVING
AGAIN—-FORGET CHINA , FOR THEY WILL EAT
OUR LUNCH IF WE DON’T START LOOKING AT
“THE KITCHEN” MORE CAREFULLY 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. Try this the next time a friend or
family member has a birthday, write them a birthday
letter. It will probably mean much more,or at the very
least join the service offered by Send Out Cards,
I think they are based in Texas.
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 . YES EVERY THING I PICK UP
AT WALMART IS FREE, BUT IS STILL LOOK FOR MADE IN USA.
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.
What does this have to do with MLM Training, I guess nothing.
It is just the longer I live the more I realize that bad things happen
when people don’t speak out and that which they believe in.
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 cost 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 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 – 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 the USA .
I passed this on .. .. . will you???
