Made In The U.S.A.

Checking Country of Origin for Amusement

Next time you’re in Target, or Wal Mart, or any discount store for that matter, pay attention to the country of origin of everything you want to buy. Seriously. Just try it. Report back if you want. But just try it.

I just did it, obviously because I do it every time I’m in a store. But this time was different.

Blue Painter’s Tape

You know that blue painter’s tape that you probably have in a drawer somewhere? It’s Scotch brand blue painter’s tape, and it’s special because it’s easily removable from just about any surface. As long as you don’t leave it on forever.

I needed a new roll of blue painter’s tape, and so today I picked one up today at Target. It was seven bucks, because I got the wide stuff. It is made in the U.S. of imported and domestic materials.

The first-ever MITUSA contest. Enter to win fabulous prizes. Really.

The birthday of my beloved betrothed is but six short weeks away. I have made it 10 months without the real sustained MITUSA gift-buying test I will face in December. I need your help.

I need to find a great gift. Something Made In The USA. Something amazing. Or at least Made In The USA.
