This article is a little old but I found it very interesting. The article is all about how retail stores this past Holiday season had featured Made in America sections. Some these stores include, Wal-Mart, Target, J. Crew, Nordstrom, Club Monaco, OFabz Swimwear, and Cracker Barrel "Old Country Store." I think shopping for Made in America goods is a good idea because in the article they talk about how usually during the Holidays people are willing to spend more on gifts, even with all sales going on, which I completely agree with. I hope that this trend continues and makes shoppers take a thought to where products are being made. I honestly look all the time at where goods are made, not because it is always going to sway my decision because sometimes I don't have an option to weather the good I am trying to buy is Made in America, and if I need the good I am going to buy it, but it definitely makes me think and has now become a habit of mine. The article also talks about a website called, USA Love List, that is devoted to sourcing domestically sourced products, which I think is great because if you want to buy Made in America goods but don't know where to go, and don't want to spend the time checking tags, you can go on the site and search a good you are looking for.
