The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Aunt Aggie Des Pralines As a caterer, Eleanor Harren was constantly receiving requests for her creamy pralines for everything from barbeques to weddings. She knew her Aunt Aggie De's praline recipe was a winner. In 1987, at age 55, Eleanor began Aunt Aggie De's Pralines, with small batches being made by Eleanor herself in her kitchen. Word quickly got out about the delectable pecan candy and she now occupies two buildings in Sinton, Texas. In one, pralines and other pecan candies are still being made in batches and with the same care and quality of ingredients she used when she started the company. The main storefront at 311 W. Sinton boasts a giant squirrel named Agnes and houses the primary retail store. Aunt Aggie De's has remained committed to USA grown and processed ingredients, with the only exception being the Madagascar vanilla beans (which are processed in the USA) and the Belgian chocolate used in chocolate confections. Aunt Aggie De's sells over 2 million pralines each year and guarantees them to be 100% delicious.
