Burt's Bees is a line of products made here in the United States. They are even a little closer to home for me because they are made in Durham, North Carolina. Here is a little bit about their story. Next time you consider purchasing lip balm, lotion, or any other naturally made skin/body/hair care item...check out Burt's Bees! They are also environmentally friendly, another great perk!
I don't claim to be a person who knows a ton about the government, history, or economics. What I do know is that I love purchasing items that say Made in the U.S.A. on them. Everything in our home is not currently manufactured in the States, but someday, I hope that it will be. Part of doing this research is to learn for my own family how I can help support our local economy. I really enjoy finding products that have great American stories behind them. If a product is manufactured here then that means American workers have a job, they get a paycheck, they become consumers, and in turn help our economy keep going strong.
Adam and I have been going through Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover since before we got married. In order to get out of debt you have to decrease spending and raise income. You have to have a job to raise your income. Getting out of debt frees up the income we do have to become wise consumers later. As wise consumers then we can purchase products made here and it's a full circle! Help out your fellow Americans by buying products made here!
