Given the title of my blog, I figure you know I will be talking about Chinese stuff once in a while. One thing I have noticed lately is that every part of something you bought has its proud stamp of CHINA on it. I think this is a little overboard, and probably mandated by the government. Think about it, you buy a box of plastic animals, and each one has it on there, along with the box. Maybe a little much.
I walk around stores now looking for things that are made here, and occasionally I find something. It seems fairly random though. All of the stuff I had as a kid is now proudly stamped out overseas, and now that the dollar is weak, I guess that means we are paying more for it.
Sometimes I take heat for being cheap, talking about yard sales and selling stuff, or complaining about the kids having too many toys. I think I am right. Why should the majority of things (stuff, junk, crap, etc) be bought at inflated retail prices then thrown out or stacked away? All of us blindly walk into stores every weekend, buy stuff, clothes and junk, mostly from China.
