As others have said, it’s VERY difficult to find things made in the USA. We’ve been trying to do this for years, and sometimes you literally don’t have a viable option.
We do most of our shopping at Jimbo’s because of health reasons, and because we want to support our local growers and businesses.
We also got rid of our foreign-made dishware and bought these:
Made in the USA, guaranteed lead-free, and my MIL has some that have lasted many, many decades without so much as a chip in them. Macy’s often has them on sale where you can get them for a very affordable price. Unfortunately, their flatware is NOT made in the USA, and it’s obvious — the handles sometimes become loose, etc.

And for those who think we will suffer if we start buying American-made products, we’ve been a net importer for some time now. It doesn’t matter if US companies make money overseas because it’s not returned here **to the workers.** Any profits are either reinvested there, or come back in the form of executive compensation or investment returns. Most, if not all of this money, will simply be reinvested where it’s expected to earn a return.
The most important form of money is wages, because when people spend it, there is no debt/return-offset. It is literally released into the economy, free of any encumberances, to be used for buying goods/services or for debt-free investing.
