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.
This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 W 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 and where
they were made. 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 in the U.S.
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets . yep, you guessed it, bounce cost more money and is made in Canada. The Everyday Valuebrand 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 blog address on to others in your address book so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from American companies who have moved their operations overseas or foreign companies!
Let's get with the program and help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the U.S.A.
I Passed this blog on .........will you ???????
