I ran out of sandwich bags today. So, I stopped in at Giant Eagle to get some. Did you know that both Glad bags and Ziplock bags are made in China or Thialand. So, I went with the Giant Eagle brand and called their 1-800 number. Guess what!! Their bags are made here in the USA in PA. I was so happy to hear this info. I just wanted to spread the word. My question is do you check things as stupid as baggies when your shopping? I have always checked clothing, and food, but never would have thought that an American couldn't make a throw away baggie.......

I don't usually take the time to check things for where they are made. But my 7 yo granddaughter has a hawk eye for things made in China.
Every time she sees something made in China she very loudly announces it to whom ever might be listening.
The other day while going through a kitchen drawer I discovered I had 2 of the thingies that help you pull up the can tab like those on pop cans. The item is made in red plastic. The writing on it is also red embossed. I laid it on the counter to add to the give away box. The minute I laid it there she said "look, it's made in China". I couldn't even see the writing but to her it stuck out like a sore thumb.

thanks for letting me know about the sandwich bags.
I really tried not to buy anything made in china,food or plastic.i am kinda paranoid about it.
it is so hard to find things made in the US.i am sure you can find them ,but the big retailers are often only offering the cheap crap from china...

I guess I never really gave little things like sandwich bags much thought, guess I'll have to pay a little more attention to the smaller things......

I never gave it much thought either, but I have been noticing where things are made now more so because of the recalls. Its very hard to find something NOT made in China...

Thanks for sharing the info!
