1. Softsoap
Usually just a buck for a bottle of this stuff, we use it in the kitchen and the guest/kid bathroom. I had never really checked to see where it was made, so this time I did. USA. Score!
2. Expo Dry Erase Markers
Shhh. Can you keep a secret?
These are actually a valentine's gift for my son's teacher. I have grand plans of making a cutesy tag that says "Teacher, you've got the WRITE stuff! Happy Valentine's Day!" Those plans will probably turn into me hand-scrawling a note on a piece of paper from the notepad on our refrigerator. I once sent a teacher a note written on the back of a used envelope. MOTHER.OF.THE.YEAR.
Anyway, she said she never has enough dry erase markers, these were on sale, and the cherry on top is that they were made in the USA!

3. Dr. Bronner's All-One Bar Soap This I purchased from my grocery store in the organic section (Kroger). Around $4 for a bar. My skin was sensitive and itchy so I wanted something pretty natural and loaded with good oils. This looked good so I bought it. I use it as my hand soap in my bathroom. Love it! I get clean, it smells fresh. I have used Dr. Bronner's All-One Lip Balm in the past and thought it was very high quality.
Those are this week's USA Made finds! If you know of any brands made here, I'd love to hear about it!
Remember when WalMart's big thing was Made in the USA?? It's hard to find things made here now! :(
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! It feels great to find out that you're already doing a few things "right" ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about the soft soap since I have been purchasing that in bulk at BJs for years, and now I can feel good about buying it. Will have to try to Dr. Bronnor's soap.
ReplyDeleteI am going to start paying more attention!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post
Great post and great gift idea for your son's teacher. Love that these products are made in the USA.
ReplyDeleteI am visiting your site from the class links for blogelina. I will be back!

I'm looking for REAl American made products to promote on my Pinterest Boards. I was recently hired by a company that makes real American made Automotive Accessories. EDI or Eurosport Daytona employs around 30 folks here in FL. Nearly all of their competition utilizes cheap overseas labor. So if you are looking for a license plate frame or something cool for your car check them out. If you find more American made things please let me know and I will add them to my boards!

for now I'm adding these-though I'm going to double check the Softsoap-that one seems too good to be true since we can buy it so cheap. I'll let you know what I can find. Sometimes you can't trust the label.
I found this when I searched for a way to purchase it wholesale.
