Menards makes it somewhat easy to find made in USA products in their home improvement stores.
Every few weeks they run a made in USA flyer that lists pages of products made here.
They also have some labeling on the shelves for items made in USA.
I know they carry several rugs and door mats manufactured here, but I was delighted to find this fun number with an owl on it during my last visit.
When in the store, you can also find American-made toys, housewares and more. I recently even saw an apartment-sized stove in the store with a made in USA label on it.

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.
