Do you know where your shirt was made?

Submitted by on March 19, 2010 – 1:50 PM2 Comments

Nowadays it seems everything is made in another country.  Whether it be Taiwan, China, or mexico manufacturing, not much seems to be made here in the USA.  I actually don’t pay much attention to where stuff is made as long as it works and is of good quality but I started thinking when I noticed the recent Menards flyer.  (If you are not sure what Menards is, it is a giant chain home improvement store.)

Menards is having a sale where everything in their flyer was manufactured in the USA.  The flyer also lists exactly what city the company is from too!  It is interesting to see where everything is made and how close to home it is!  I know some people are very dedicated to buying and supporting companies in the USA, so this is a great opportunity for them to shop.  Although people like me who are just happy to get good products at good prices, maybe don’t care so much where the product was manufactured.

Now don’t get me wrong, I definitely want to support my own country, but I am not going to go out of my way to not buy a product because it was manufactured somewhere else.  The way I look at is everybody everywhere needs work and money now, so I figure I am helping someone somewhere!
