Buying USA Made but what about Gas for the Car?

Burt's Bees are products
 made in the USA
     Hello, how's your weather today? We're having winter weather with temps in the 30’s, brrr. Really, I can’t complain as we didn’t get the snow or the tornadic weather like some of our neighbors to the North and South.  I hope it warms up next week. 
     I haven’t been shopping since I started the blog on March 23 so I don’t have any shopping experiences to share yet. I have though learned something that has somewhat blasted a hole in my thinking about only buying USA made products and food for a year.
     My oldest Grandson said I would not be buying USA made goods if I filled up my car with gas. I should have thought of this but I didn’t. Okay, I’ll admit that I’m not perfect, ha ha. This means I won’t be going to town since I live in a rural area. What will I do about this? I decided to stick with my original challenge of buying only USA made Products and Foods only I will need to change the rules and add a few exceptions.
I'll still buy gas as it is what I consider a necessity. If another necessity comes up I'll fess up to it. 
     I thought it was necessary to buy the brand of jeans that I always buy but
It isn’t, I 'll just miss having them. There's a company making USA jeans, It's Diamond Gusset Jeans,  http://www.gussetclothing.com/. I haven’t bought from them yet but plan to later.


     Have a nice day.
     Later,
