When you buy stuff, do you have much concern where the product was made?

Where the product was made may not always tell you much since parts could come from various sources.

    Not really.  The origin of a product doesn't necessarily make it good or bad.  (made in Mexico from parts manufactured in China, USA, and Canada)

    I would prefer to purchase items made in USA, but they are few and hard to find.  I wind up buying the best value except when it comes to food or food storage items that are made in China.  I will not buy them.

      I absolutely REFUSE to purchase any Vegemite that was not produced in its native Australia.

    Nope.

    I mean, if I bought bottled water I might.
    Wouldn't want to buy any bottled in Mexico, for example.
    LOL

    Like to think so but not the case at all. I may look at some pint after buying but just curiosity, really.

    I buy products made in the USA as much as possible, but if I can’t find stuff made in the USA, I’ll try to stick with things made in North America.  

    Sometimes I buy foreign-made items.  I have no problem at all with buying something that’s made in China by a Chinese company, but I’ll absolutely try to avoid buying something that’s made in China by an American company.

    The one thing I consistently check is any food item I give to my dogs.
