do you try to buy things made in the usa?

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. It just depends on what I am buying. And a lot of times the stuff that is not made here is a lot cheaper than what is. I really have to be very careful in my spending habits as this is a one income family and we have 4 children. Whenever I can buy American I do though. [b] Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Yes!!!!! I want to make sure that it's made right here at home. I also make sure my books are published in the USA....well the first one I was insistant that it was and they up and moved to the Phillipines....that p*ssed me off! Now when I have to call someone I can hardly understand what they are saying and it takes twice as long to get a book done and in the hands of a customer!

I think no, we buy then rarely. we are not from USA. plus things made in my country are far more cheap in price.

Yes i do try and buy things from right here in the great UNITED STATES OF AMERICA if i don't i feel like a person that does not support his contry your freind bigman

we rarely buy products made in USA mainly coz of the price. anyways, I have noticed that most of the products being sold even if it's like a shirt or something with american flag...when you take a look closer at the tag it says made in China

Yup. Whenever i go to your country. Quality control there is really strict, so the goods delivered are at par to the customer's standards. Thanks for the add.

i try, but it sure does seem to be getting harder to find. shoot the other day we bought some new bathroom towels for my grandmother, and learned they were made in Pakistan! which really really surprised me. i mean i dont think ive seen anything with a label saying it was made in Pakistan before. bad thing was that ALL the towels that were there were from Pakistan..so no choice in the matter, couldnt afford to go to the other side of town trying to find affordable towels made here in the USA. its very frustrating when you hearing commercials and politicians etc, saying to "buy made in the USA" when you are TRYING to and cant hardly find anything!

If possible I always buy the Made in America. Few things turn me off more than this cheap junk made in China. We are also now getting a very poor quality of can goods and other food items that are made here in the US. I don't buy them either. Even made in America doesn't assure good quality like it did in the past. On thing I hate is to buy something marked as made in America only to find out it is assembled from parts from all over the world. Cars are a good example of this and electronics are another.
