Spotted

My husband spied these made in USA Fisher House kneepads at Lowe's recently.
The package reads "kneepad supplier to the US Army.
They could make a nice stocking stuffer for the do-it-yourselfer or contractor on your gift list.

Y'all want pie?

While shopping at a local kitchen store last month, I ran across this colorful selection of Haeger Natural Stone deep dish pie plates made in the USA.
The plates are oven, microwave and dishwasher safe and are lead free.
Haeger makes a wide variety of pottery items. Visit their website for more information.

For the birds

On a recent visit to Sears I saw a nice selection of bird feeders made in the USA. One of the brands was this Wild Delight model.
I got a bird feeder for Christmas a couple of years ago and my husband and I really enjoy listening to the birds and checking out the various species that visit our feeder.

Athletic polos

A few years back I found some made in USA women's polos on Athleta's web site that I really liked. The material is a blend of polyester and spandex.
The style is nice, too, because it has some darts sewn in and looks nicer than your average unisex polo.
Recently I noticed that the same style polos in their catalog and on their web site were labeled imported, so I hadn't bought any more.
I found some similar looking polos labeled made in USA on Sierra Trading Post's web site and ordered three of those to replace mine, which were wearing out. Originally I had brown, white and light blue, and this time I ordered a coral, a white and a yellow.
When they arrived, I discovered that they were the Altheta polos. The good news is, I got a great deal. The bad news is, they are most likely being clearanced out through Sierra Trading Post and perhaps other outlets.
If you are in need of a nice athletic polo made in USA, give them a look before they are gone.

Keep it contained

Food storage containers that are made in USA are actually fairly easy to find. Have you noticed any?
There are several made of clear glass, and even some plastic ones like these I spotted at a nearby Dollar Tree store.
Next time you are in the market for some, give the label a look to see where they are made.

Menards

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.
