The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe 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 |
