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 Chic Shelf Paper Why Chic Shelf Paper? After moving into a new home, we were dismayed at the lack of originality in the shelf papers and drawer liners we found. The idea of having to look at our possessions from silverware and sweaters to towels and toys sitting on faux wood-grain or sterile white plastic shelf paper left us wanting something better. We believe what the quote above says: The areas we access every day should look as nice as the parts of our homes that are on display. Our second gripe was the idea of all the measuring, cutting, and trial-and-error fitting process to install shelf liners. What a hassle! Why couldn t a company pre-cut them for us? There had to be more choices and a better way, we told ourselves but we couldn t find one. So we started Chic Shelf Paper. Our mission is to help homeowners enhance and enjoy their living environments by creating personalized and high-quality decorative coverings for the storage areas in their homes.
