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 Zip n Go Blanket 35 years ago is when you could say that the Zip-n-go Blanket? concept of our Outdoor Blanket, Stadium Blanket, or Waterproof Picnic Blanket started, if you ask my mom.... Ever since I was young I have always loved the outdoors, sunshine, nature, and mountains, but never loved the grass, dirt, wet ground, and bugs that came along with it. My mom would sit me on a blanket in the grass and she said I wouldn't ever go off the blanket. I didn't like the feel of grass and I still don't till this day! Fast forward 27 years later I found myself with my son throwing a fit at the beach because he hated the feel of wet sand. My small beach towel wasn't doing the trick of keeping him or me off the wet sand and hence the Zip-n-go Blanket? came forth. I searched for the perfect Waterproof Outdoor Blanket, but the ones I found on the internet or at the stores were either too hard to fold, too small, had separate carrying cases or straps that I knew I would lose, never seemed to fit back in the original bag, or were cheaply made. I was looking for a high quality Waterproof Outdoor Blanket that could keep my son and I dry and clean, something I could zip up, carry on my shoulder as a tote bag, had no separate carrying case, and had some storage space to place snacks, water bottles, and keys, but couldn't find it. I was on a mission and decided to see if my mom, who is an excellent seamstress, could make what I was looking for. After spending a year finding the best materials and designing prototypes my mother and I came up with the Zip-n-go Blanket?. It was important for us to keep production in America and that is why our blankets are made are now made in the heart of Indiana. We hope that customers will find this important too! My husband and I have three handsome boys, Michael (8), Samuel (6), and Tucker (4) and a baby daugther name Isabella (born in 2013).
