Cheap and cheap
TELEGRAPH UK: Wall Street life: Americans become uneasy at the relentless tide of Chinese imports
After spending Christmas surrounded by Chinese made toys, Bongiorni's family embarked on a year-long boycott of Chinese products. They wanted to see for themselves what it would take, in will power and creativity, to live without the world's fastest growing economy - and whether it could be done at all.
Her trials are the subject of a new book - A Year Without Made In China - and her story makes grim reading for the Shop Local movement.
Bongiorni tells of having to spend $70 on Italian shoes for her 4-year-old son because the $15 versions in her local shops were all made in China.
