Garlic press not made in China

[steve]

Anyone who's been paying attention knows that the Section 301 tariffs that have been in place since 2017 have done a lot to diversify manufacturing and supply chains. I still remember when I started this blog a few years ago I could walk into any major retailer or clothing store and find 100% of their products made in China. Today, I see all kinds of countries represented, from Vietnam to India to Bangladesh to Germany. China still holds the lead, of course, but at least others are in the game.

Garlic presses are one of those products that you'd think would have diversified. But go to Amazon and you'll still predominantly see China manufacturers. What this tells you is that even with the tariff in place, China manufacturers have such a hold on the market that they still can dominate Amazon search results by flooding the market, ensuring that manufacturers from other countries never rank and thus, are never seen.

But if you take the time to look, you can find some really nice alternatives to made in China with better quality and comparable or even lower prices. Here are just a few
