My Grandson Likes Hershey's Candy (Made in the USA)

My grandson likes Hershey’s candy.  It is marked made in Mexico now. I do not buy it any more.  My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico now.  I have switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on everything.
This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60W light
bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb
aisle and  right next to the GE brand I normally buy was an off
brand labeled, "Everyday Value." I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the price.
The GE  bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand
but the thing that  surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in – get ready for this - the USA in a company in  Cleveland, Ohio.
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here.
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets....yep, you
guessed it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada. The Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at almost half the price!
So my challenge to you is to
start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the job you save may be your own or your neighbors! 
If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your
address book so we can all start buying American, one
light bulb at a time! Stop buying from China ..........
