More Clothes!!

Can you believe it I found two brands of clothing Made in America in the same store in the Aria Hotel and Casino in Lost Wages....wait I mean Las Vegas! Well this item is a hotel specific
That's right Aria Brand clothing I'm not exactly sure what the story behind having a clothing brand named after a hotel? ,but if you are ever in Las Vegas go check out these clothes because of course they are....
Made in America!!

I also wandered into a CVS Pharmacy while there and went down their souvenir aisle that had all the I love Las Vegas items etc. and of course I did not find anything Made in America everything I looked at said Made in China. I suppose that is to be expected. Well anyway this is actually the last item I found in Las Vegas so we are back to good old Minnesota Tomorrow. Until Next time my Friends!

Finally Some Clothes!!

I found some Clothes finally. I had to go all the way to Las Vegas ,but I found them!!

I found these clothes at a shop within the Aria Hotel and Casino
Now these are designer clothes so the price range on these at least for me personally is a little out of my range, but for someone who makes a little bit more than me these are wonderful clothes.
They are wonderful because of course they are Made in America!

And I'm Back!

Well I'm back From Las Vegas actually I've been back since Sunday, but I've been playing catch up with Sleep and Work and tonight I did my taxes!, but I'm getting a refund so YAY!... Oh wait where was I yes I'm back I had a great time in Las Vegas and I did a little bit of searching for Made in America Products. I was on vacation so I didn't do as much as I'd originally planned, but I found a few products and the first product is Sugar! from McDonalds

OK OK I know that's not really an exclusive Vegas item you can find it anywhere at McDonalds or at least McDonalds USA. I found some much more exciting products that I will be posting in the next couple of days right now it's off to bed. Until next time my friends.

Dog Treats

Now this one I'm really passionate about make sure your Pets Food are Made in America! Also watch what ingredients are in them. Now this is a topic I could really go on and on about and I may! in the future I have another blog http://lolaspethealth.blogspot.com/ I have not updated it since last May so It won't have the most up to date information on it right now, but I plan to basically reactivate it with some new information and I'll post about my feelings on Manufactured pet food there sometime next week So anyway I'm babbling now so today's product is of Course Dog Treats!
My Rule of thumb when it comes to Pet Treats is if it's not Made in America I won't buy it and if I'm not sure where it's made then I also won't buy it these happen to be Made in America
I purchased these for my Dogs and they seem to like them. Now this same brand also had some that I couldn't determine where they were made so I'm not sure if all varieties are Made in America, but for sure the Beef Jerky ones are as always be sure to check the back before you buy!

Not so fast!

Ok so turns out Rayovac isn't so special they are just one of many who make Batteries in the USA here are two more.
Energizer
Yep and Also Duracel
Yep
So Yeah these are the batteries. I'm not sure if there is some kind of regulation that these need to be made in the USA or not, but it's a safe bet that if you buy batteries they were probably made in America just make sure to check the back.. It's funny ,but now I'm seeing more and more stuff Made in America maybe it's just because I'm more aware of it now. I'm not sure, but I plan to continue if I find enough stuff I'll post something everyday and so far so good!

Another Walmart Item

So Guess what I found something else Made in America at Walmart. I mentioned previously that I thought maybe I was giving Walmart a bad rap because I've found more stuff there than any other store at least so far. Mind you I think it's great they have the Made in America stuff, but I think I'm noticing a pattern most of the items I've found have been on the end caps or on display in a very visible area. My guess is that this is no accident Walmart wants us to think that they are a very American company because of all the items I have many more products I'll be displaying here. What I would really like to know what happens if I search in the middle of the aisles what kind of stuff might I find there well I haven't really tried that yet, but I intend to and I will be sure to post what I find here. So anyway to today's product. I found a Made in America Blanket!
Yep a Scratchy blanket for $10.00. It was a little rough to the touch. This blanket would be great for a car blanket or maybe a picnic blanket, but I sure wouldn't put it on your bed not the most comfortable.

It's Made in America so It can't be all bad right ;). I unfortunately do not know anything about the manufacturing of this other than of course it was Made in America. That's it that's the product of the day!

Kitchen Utensils

So I once again spent some time at our favorite place Made in China... err Walmart. OK actually I think I'm giving Walmart a little bit of a bad rap because I've actually found more Made in America Stuff at Walmart than anywhere else at least so far so tonight I decided to film a little bit check out the video below it's just literally the raw video , but anyway check that out. I actually had a lot of luck there tonight ,but as I said before I'll post one at a time tonight I'll do a couple just because they are so similar.

Pie Server
Made in America Yep!
A Spoon!
Made in America Yep Yep
I think there must be something about Metal not being Made in America at least for this company if you watch the video below you can see the plastic utensils are Made in American and the Metal ones are Made in China.check out Walmart.com and you can of course pick them up at your local store be sure to check the back!

Poppie Corn!!

Yum Today's Product is not only Made in America it's Delicious. OK I can't actually say that cause I haven't tried this before, but I've definitely had Kettle Corn before and it's usually delicious so I think it's safe to assume ;)
So as I said I haven't tasted this yet, but I think I may later tonight so I will be sure to post a follow up and let you know how it tasted.
Yum Yum can't wait to try this.



This Popcorn was bought at Walmart.

Water and Stain Protector?

As I mentioned in a previous post I recently took a trip to the local Outlet mall here in Minnesota. We went into four stores before I found anything Made in the USA. I'm beginning to think that not one item of clothing is Made in the USA I know that's probably not true there must be something somewhere , but I sure haven't found it yet. SO what was that first item I found you ask well it was at a shoe store.
I was loosing hope that I would find anything and alas there it was some fabulous Water and Stain protector ;) So I actually don't really know a lot about this product, but apparently it protects leather suede and nubuck or so says the bottle, but hey the good thing is it's Made in America! here is a link to the companies website of all the items in the shoe store none that I found were Made in America so if you buys something other than this it probably wasn't Made in America
http://www.clarks.com/
I found some more things on my outlet mall trip so stay tuned for those things!

Keep these Banana Keepers in the USA

shopping at Made in China again or rather should I say Walmart I stumbled upon this
A handy place for your Banana's I suppose. oh and also by the picture apparently your grapes and other fruits and vegetables. I can't find these for sale online I normally can, but apparently these are primarily sold in stores, but they are Made in the USA so YAY!
sorry the pictures kind of blurry. I actually on this trip to Walmart found 3 things made in the USA, but I'm only posting one at a time so stay tuned for the other things. Prior to my trip to Walmart I stopped at JCPenney and did not find one thing made in the USA. I didn't of course look at everything in the store I'm sure they had something somewhere, but of all the things I looked at nothing. I realized today that I must look pretty silly when I go in a store picking everything up and checking to see where it's made, but oh well it's worth it I'm really enjoying this blog and hope to keep it going. I mentioned I had a few things from the outlet mall I'll post my first thing from there tomorrow stay tuned!
