Chink-mobiles coming to america

I should know as I buy a number of them there.(most recently mobil 1 oil) Often better made and with a lower price than the made-in-china crapola next to it. Don't blame walmart, blame the people who don't read the packages and don't care regardless of where they shop. |

The one near me is enormous and the isles are normal, the crowds arent bad at night when I shop. Then again, I've never bought more than 5 things at the same time there. It's just the only place near me that carries mobil 1 and motorcraft oil filters at a decent price. Not many autoparts stores near by, so wally world also fills in for hose clamps and other misc items that are the same all over. > But this problem exists at almost every > store.

I have a harder time finding made-in-USA alternatives at home depot than I do at walmart. Menards takes the lead over home depot wrt made-in-the-USA. |
