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 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.
