Harbor Freight Tools

 If you are familiar with Harbor Freight Tools, you might think of it as a place that sells a lot of cheap tools made in China. And you might be correct.
However, in just a short minute I managed to find two products made in USA in the store, which made me wonder how many more items stocked there might be made here.
Harbor Freight currently has more than 350 brick and mortar stores.
While shopping at our local store last weekend, I noticed a toy called the Arrowcopter Toy, touted as being able to soar 300 feet. On the front of the package was a U.S. flag under which appeared Made in the United States.
At an end cap display I also noticed a two gallon plastic gasoline can with a U.S. flag on the label with the familiar Made in USA text appearing underneath.
Many times while shopping in so-called "dollar stores" I have also seen merchandise made in USA. It just goes to show, it pays to check labels no matter where you go.

Sock it to me

Just a quick note to say that I found a few offerings of both men's and women's socks made in USA at Dunham's Sports store. I got some women's bamboo socks in a couple of colors and some men's in white cotton.
I used to be able to find a great selection of socks at TJ Maxx, but have been striking out there lately. Heck, even about four years ago I could find them at Target and Kmart.
Speaking of made in USA shopping, I also saw quite a few women's tops at Bergner's last night. My only issue with them was that they were the baggy 1980s styles, but it's great to see a larger selection of made in USA stuff on hand.

Cunningham's Puzzles

In searching for made in USA gift items for my nieces, I discovered Cunningham's jigsaw puzzles.
The puzzles are hand made out of wood in animal shapes. They carry jungle animals, farm animals, water animals, dogs and more.

My niece is currently a fan of farm animals, so I decided on a pig puzzle for $30.
My order arrived shortly, packaged in a padded envelope proudly decorated with a made in USA sticker. And yes, even the sticker was made in USA.
The puzzle was of very nice quality, complete with curly tail.
I gave the puzzle to my niece last week as a birthday gift and hope she has fun with it and that it will make a nice long lasting keepsake.
