One Light Bulb At A Time

One Light Bulb At A Time

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 the USA

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!

Start looking.

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 Watt 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 get ready for this - in
the USA from 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.... help our fellow Americans keep their jobs
and create more jobs here in the U..S.A.
