Our First Entry

One of the Market Vendors shared this with me a few Saturdays ago. I thought that the last line should have included CERTIFIED FARMERS MARKETS of course!

As you have heard, most of us will be getting a rebate check to stimulatethe economy.If we spend the money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.If we spend it on gasoline, it will go to the Arabs. If we purchase a computer, it will go to India.If we purchase fruits & vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras, &Guatemala.If we purchase a good car, it will go to Japan.If we purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan.None of which will help the American Economy. We need to keep that moneyhere in America.The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at Yard Sales since those are the only businesses left in the U.S.

I think there are a lot of good American made companies if one looks hard enough such as; Oreck.com they sell vacuums and such. You can find 100’s of American made items at; http://www.stillmadeinusa.com/ and http://www.madeinusa.org/, just to name a slight few. I love American products that is why I go to the Farmers Market. I just want to tell you where I personal purchase most of my items for my home and that is; http://www.americansworking.com/

Let me go to the Wal-Mart issue you brought up. If we do not go to the local stores however our local economy crashes, and then people that live in our neighborhoods lose jobs, and I personally need to work; unless one is fortunate to have a silver spoon on their mouths.
