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 Kentuckys Smokin Grill A Backyard BBQ Tradition Kentucky's Smokin' Grill started in 1973 as a family picnic and barbecue for a 4th of July celebration. Over a period of about 10 years, our cookouts went from family picnic events to a growing hobby that blossomed into a part-time business. Kentucky BBQ in the Good Ol' Days Dave perfecting some barbecue pork During the early years, we tried various available BBQ sauces. Some of them were acceptable as is, some needed a little attention, and some were beyond help. We wanted to find the perfect BBQ sauce. We didn't want one with an overbearing vinegar twang and we didn't want one with a thin consistency (that stuff just slides off into the bottom of the grill when you add a little heat). We DID want a tasty sauce, smooth and pleasant so an individual wouldn't tire of it. Addictive is a good thing in barbecue sauce. Trust us on that! If You Want Something Done Right? Try as we might to find that perfect sauce prepackaged in a jar or bottle, we were unsuccessful. On a brighter note, the search (and a little desperation) finally lead us to our own refrigerator, and our spice cabinet, and on to our stove top. The original recipe, mixed and served on a ?Derby Day' many years ago, is the same recipe that you will find in every jar of our Original Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate sauce today! The Hard Part: Pinning Down the Magic The toughest job during the final stages of developing the perfect BBQ sauce was to come up with a standard formula for production. ?A touch of this' and ?a bit of that' doesn't translate well into a refined recipe. Until then, we thought eye of newt was only in witches' brew! (Just a little recipe humor for you). No Compromises! Once we perfected our recipe, we didn't want to make changes that would lower the quality of our creation in any way. We made the hard decision that if our production recipe required the addition of vinegar or preservatives to achieve an acceptable shelf life, we would not market our sauce! When had the sauce tested for production, It qualified for extended shelf life right off the top of the stove. Much to our surprise, the sauce needed no modification! So, you see, it was meant to be ? and the Kentucky's Smokin' Grill legend was born and packaged up to share with the world. Now, Go Get Your Own! Today, you can have your very own jar (or case ? or many cases!) of our Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate barbecue sauce. We offer the Original Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate, A Spicy version for those who want a little more heat, and our Too Hot For You variety for those whose palate prefers a little pain.
