We need to do this!!!
Friends....In our current economic situation, every little
thing we buy or do affects someone else and perhaps even
their job....
so after reading this email .... I think this lady is on
the right track. Let's get behind her!!
"Hi friends,
This may seem like a funny email but I was so surprised
by what I discovered I had to share it with you. When I
think of the job situation in this country, I can't help
but think this helps in some small way. I don't know how
many households there are in the U.S. but if these were
the only things we bought think of the impact....
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. 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 .
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you
use every day that are made right here - from a company in
Cleveland OH !
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets....yep you
guessed it Bounce was more money and 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!
So 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!
LaLa
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!
Besides, you might save a little green in the process.
Start being aware to buying USA made materials, they arenʼt necessarily more expensive.
lets get with the program..... help our fellow Americans
keep their jobs ... and create more jobs here in the
U.S.A.
