Made in America – Ramblers Way
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.
There are times when I think back to my childhood and miss the feel of the town I grew up in. I grew up in a small town in Connecticut. A suburb of a major city nearby. My town really consisted of one main street through the center of town and then all of the side streets branching off of it. If you needed to go to the grocery store or the drug store or the local pizza shop, you would go to the main street through the center of town. I remember the local grocery store. We knew the owner by name and we would receive the one page sales flyer once a week in the mail. However, as I grew up, the local grocery store wasn’t the place to go to for deals as the larger chains popped up in nearby towns. The local toy store next door to the grocery store shut down. Small mom & pop restaurants were not able to survive.
I don’t know if my town suffered because of the loss of the small mom & pop shops, but I can say that my town lost some of its unique appeal when the larger chains moved in. My town preserved its historical presence with a museum that, as a child, I went to on numerous field trips. However, the museum is now surrounded by large, impersonal chains. Going back to my town, I can barely recognize it.
A company called Ramblers Way Farm is changing the way business is done. Ramblers Way Farm sources, grows and produces their wool apparel using 100% domestic resources. They are helping revitalize communities by bringing manufacturing facilities into distressed towns. If only more companies had this intent! Ramblers Way is striving to preserve history and yet further the economic stability of distressed towns. They take the “Made in America” title and not only live it out, but spread it from town to town as their company grows more and more. Knowing that Ramblers Way Farm is striving to support our economy by keeping hiring within is what Made in America means to me. Made in America does not mean outsourcing to other countries where labor is cheap. Made in America is utilizing America’s tools, land, workers, etc and using our resources to produce quality products. Their amazing woolen garments are outstanding quality and prove that outsourcing is not necessary to make a quality garment.

Okay – So I have wanted to post recipes that match up with each week’s sales ads for a LONG TIME now.. However, I just haven’t had the time to put together fun recipes and post them. I was wondering if anyone is already putting together recipes that match each week’s sales flyer. I would love to start posting a recipe or two to match each week’s sales ad! (The ad can be for whichever store you like to shop at!) And, if you want to get really into it, I can even post a picture or two if you choose to take a pic of your masterpiece. Anyone interested in helping out? Feel free to leave a comment on this post or shoot me an email! 
Groupon Beauty.com Deal from Yesterday
I know some of you bought the Groupon yesterday which would get you a $30.00 Gift Certificate to Beauty.com. I wanted to update you that I just went online and was trying to place my order but Beauty.com/Drugstore.com would not accept my coupon code. I called Beauty.com and was told that supposedly the codes Groupon.com issued are not correct. The rep I spoke with said that Groupon.com will be reissuing new codes to all of us who purchased this deal within the next 24 hours.. Will keep you updated on this situation
Thanks Everyone!
I had one of those “days” yesterday where I was under the weather and not working as much as I should have been. I just wanted to thank all of you – I saw a ton of questions get posted on the site during my absence and I then saw so many of you answer the questions. THANK YOU!! You all are getting so good at couponing and I love the fact that if I don’t answer a question, I can rest assured that someone else will answer it for me! Side note – if you email me and I don’t respond quickly (it’s hard to now that I receive 100+ emails a day) you will probably get your answer a lot quicker if you ask it on this site. 
I am back to reality today – I just got back from my weekly Publix trip and I am about to post a ton of deals included my Photo Show and Tell.. Hope you all are having a marvelous week! Happy Thursday!
Thanks again for all of your help. You are THE BEST readers!
