I have continued my endeavor to try to buy American, or at a minimum not MIC since I started that thread a while back. It is a lot of work to buy American and most people won’t do it and give up. I found I’ve saved a lot of money and it has me reconsidering certain purchases, especially impulse ones. I’ve gone to great lengths to try to buy American in the remodel. It’s been a challenge. Good for you for attempting to get tires here.

I already have been noticing that certain items are in much smaller packaging and even slightly higher prices. For example, anybody ever grab a bottle of Odwalla juice at lunch? The bottles are smaller and the price is the same or a little higher. I mean, do they think we don’t notice these things?

If you try to buy anything made in America, stand by. You will see how we already have inflation. I already discussed this a while ago on some other thread. For example, women’s designer shoes, normally a few hundred dollars were at one time made in Italy. Now still a few hundred dollars, but made in China. If you want Italian made shoes, you will pay several hundred.

We already have inflation. They have just been tricking us into thinking we’re not by substitution in either quality or quantity.

Thanks for that link. Very good to know. I hadn’t even thought of checking.

Looks like Gary is in good standing. I know in watching how he works that he makes sure he does stuff right.

Looks like Jason’s Tailor Made Cabinetry is active and in good standing.

Looks like A & L was suspended (issue w/workers comp insurance) and then active. I still think Ceasar is a good guy w/some good employees.

Edit: And looks like Royce Gilmore – Custom Reflections Hardwood Floors is also active and in good standing.

Well, in my case I didn’t really have any preferred lender. It didn’t matter much to me who I went w/as long as I got “market” low rate. But at this point, since they’re passing my loan around, glad I went w/them anyway, since they paid for closing. And what if I did go w/my favorite lender? Whose to say they wouldn’t sell my loan to someone else later?
