The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by No Feathers Please Hello and welcome to NoFeathersPlease.com! As a flight attendant I've spent years sleeping on questionable (to put it mildly) bedding in some dusty hotel rooms. Since I have allergies, I especially wanted a healthy bedroom at home as free from irritants and dust mites as I could find. So I began a long search for bedding that was not only free of down and feathers but also hypoallergenic, chemical and pesticide free. That turned out to be much more challenging and difficult than I thought. As I've learned, there are lots of sort of organic bedding lines out there and many are not completely or truly organic, not all natural fibers (like cotton or wool), not chemical and pesticide free, or they had those darn feathers and down in them. Often they came from places that did not always practice and maintain healthy or environmentally sound growing, harvesting or manufacturing standards. It's taken some time, but I've found several wonderful, all natural, truly organic, safe and pure lines of amazing bedding and launched NoFeathersPlease.com in 2006. Not only are these lines of bedding certified organic, but manufactured to the highest standards of testing and safety available today. Most of the products are made right here in the USA from US components. So sleep better and feel doubly good about your organic bedding purchase. Not only are you purchasing amazing bedding, but each month proceeds from sales by our customers are donated to our local Project Wildlife chapter and Green America's Sustainability Circle. I love these great organic bedding products and think you will too! Thank you for purchasing from NoFeathersPlease.com, helping us give and for supporting organic living standards and USA made products! |
