I stopped at the Dollar General Store in Bowling Green, MO yesterday, mainly because I thought I could get in an out of there quicker than I could Wal-Mart. What a nice store! First Dollar General I've been in where the aisles are spacious, shelves well stocked and there wasn't a lot of inventory sitting in the aisles (looking like it's waiting to be put on shelves). Layout was a little different than others I shop in, but the clerks were very courteous and told me where to find what I was looking for.
Came across a brand they carry called "Clover Valley". I picked up a couple boxes of cereal in this brand (those that resemble more popular-name brands), to give them a try -- because they were labeled as "Made in U.S.A." (Distributed by Dolgencorp, LLC, 100 Mission Ridge, Goodlettsville, TN 37072), and much less expensive. The crunchy peanut butter in this brand is also labeled "Made in U.S.A." so am giving it a try as well. And haven't had time to bake recently, so bought a pkg of Clover Valley Real Chocolate Chip Cookies -- yep, Made in U.S.A.
Also am trying the DG Home brand Soft Bath Tissue -- says it's comparable to Angel Soft Bath Tissue -- that's labeled as "Manufactured in U.S.A. from domestic and imported materials". It's labeled as containing no inks, dyes & perfumes, and is septic safe. Will let you know how I "feel" about this brand, ha -- and will continue to look for brands that are fully made in U.S.A.
Perhaps you haven't read ALL the labels. The Dollar General Dry Skin Lotion is Made in Mexico and clearly states that on the bottle. READ before you buy if you want to buy American.
ReplyDeleteAlso they sell Smithfield Foods bacon and other products. This company is in the United States but owned by communist China Company. Look it up communist China owns a lot of food companies in the United States and also a lot of land here. This should not be allowed in our country
