The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Handmade Sweaters My enjoyment for crocheting and knitting was instilled at a young age by my grandmother. She taught me the basics and sent me on my way to master my craft. I became quite proficient in the making of granny square hats, scarves and purses. With the birth of my first daughter a couple of years ago, I decided that I wanted to crochet her a sweater. I found the perfect color yarn with just the right texture and went to work. The sweater came out perfect and rekindled my love for the craft. The sweater gets a lot of compliments. That said, I'm offering these 100% handmade sweaters for you to share with the little ones in your lives. In addition, I've also created a couple of optional accessories such as a matching hat & headband, which complete the set. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
