Another link that has quite a few places where you will find american made products is: stillmadeinamerica.com Plan on going back to it as I found my shower curtain that will replace the plastic one I have now with a cotton duck cloth one.

Peg it does get easier to find made in america. I seem to find more and more products in the stores and that is the first item I will reach for and purchase. If its not made in america or germany I leave it on the shelf.

I'm angry since I just bought some minnetonkas and they're made in the Dominican Republic.

Meow Cosmetics

http://www.meowcosmetics.com/

Great mineral makeup made by a couple of women as a home based business.  It has gotten great reviews and I use it myself.  Love the stuff.

Made in the USA!

I don't know where they are made but we typically bought Mason and Kerr glass jars in the grocery store for decades.

Both Ball and Kerr are USA made (I've been buying a lot!). For other glass storage, check pyrex, anchor hocking and some of those older brands. Also, thrift stores, garage sales and ebay.

I know Kerr Glass is made right here in our little town. Yeah.
I wanted to ask if anyone knows about Fingerhut- I saw a set of stoneware dishes in there, but it doesn't say where it's made?
