The end of August is quickly approaching! If you read a few posts back in August, I wrote about giving up imports for the month of September. WOW!! What a challenge! I have researched this and paid a lot of attention to what I normally buy in a month and found that this is going to be close to impossible! We also looked into only buying things from the western hemesphere; Canada, Mexico, South America, etc. That seems much more doable, since we like fresh fruit and veggies so much! But one other thing has come up this month that is standing in my way. I am starting a new business. I am selling Cookie Lee jewelry, which I love!! Although it is a US based business, like most US businesses, the product is manufactured in China.
So, my goal for this month, where imports are concerned, is to be aware of what I am buying. If it is possible to purchase a US made product instead, I will!
Since I have changed the September challenge quite a bit, I am adding a second challenge for the month. What that will be? I don't know yet, but I have a day and a half to figure it out! :) Any ideas?
