We order meat from my brother in law (Minnesota)
My clothes? I spend a *little more. Shoes, too. Always have because I believe in paying for quality. Most of my shoes are Italian, USA (Freebird is one of my favorites. Gents, if you or your ladies don't know this brand, you and they need to. Handcrafted, beautiful boots and shoes out of Denver, true to size and so comfortable)), or Spanish.
I really do make a point to avoid buying anything Chinese if I can.
*okay, a lot... but I'm also a classic shopper. I pay for something that I will wear for minimum 5 years (jeans) or that will still be classic when my girls want to raid my closet 20 years down the line (shoes/coats/ handbags/ the occasional evening gown).
A great pair of jeans, killer shoes, and a simple top will never, ever go out of style.
Pay for jeans and shoes (belts, gentlemen/ handbags, ladies). American cotton shirts go with everything. Always.
And a good, wool dress coat, mid length, that can be easily dressed up or down.
