The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Paupers Candle Our candles are hand poured and hand crafted by, Krista and Mark Webber, in the state of Idaho, USA. We have been making candles since 2002. We have made an extra effort to purchase our raw materials, when possible, from companies that make them in the USA. Also, we are continuing to produce all our candles using 100% natural soy wax and produce a candle line that is 100% natural using essential oils. This is our From Nature Candle Collection. We use non-metal wicks and use a glass tumbler that you can clean out and use as a drinking glass for your home. Re-purposing at its best! We have arranged our candles into four candle lines: Pauper's Traditional Candle Line, Signature Candle Line, From Nature Candle Collection, and Herb N' Garden Line. Each candle line features a set of unique scents. Each scent in each candle line comes in a 7oz boxed candle and an air freshener. Each candle line has its own packaging to set it apart. We are very excited about our candle lines and know you will find a scent to fit you. We are currently living in Sandpoint, Idaho and seeing our 17 year old dream coming to a reality, being debt free, living a simple life on our own land, and living off-grid. Yes, our candles are made from free energy from the sun! When one is in control of their world and the world is not controlling you, then one is truly free. We decided long ago that since our chosen professions do not produce large or even medium incomes, we then want to live in what we think is a beautiful area. We lived in Pacific City, OR on the coast, in Mitchell, OR in the high plains dessert and now in Northern Idaho in the middle of trees with a beautiful lake at our cities edge. We are truly blessed! We are pleased that you have used and enjoyed our products and thank you for your continual support. Happy Burning and Many Scents to You, Mark and Krista Webber |
