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 Vintage Crush OK, OK? I'll admit it! We have a crush on wine! We love everything about it from grape to glass! The walk in the vines. The grapes. The crush. The swish. The smell. The flavor. The barrel. The bottle. The cork. The label. The romance of it all! We love that wine is alive. It brings joy when shared with friends and soul to a conversation. My Vintage Crush is a family business. Our wine related products are unique, functional and eco-friendly. Retired wine barrels and used corks that would normally get thrown away are repurposed and turned into wine art that has history, just as each bottle of wine has its own history. It's good for the earth and good for the soul. So along with my husband who is my web designer, a very talented Guitarist, techno geek and my best friend, and my daughter who is my budding wine connoisseur, we created My Vintage Crush. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing our crush on wine! Be Blessed! Maryann Houde American Products by American Craftsman & Women |
