This is the first time the update has been about the nifty 50. I figured since it offers coupons that cover the cost, I'd go ahead and post it.

Though I wish the person would just post the 50 and not require the whole email registration coupon thing.

Well, I guess that's buying American. But I'm not going to do it. There are plenty of web sites that list American goods for free.

Or did I miss something on that site? All I could find clicking were links to make me buy 'the new August 2012 Edition of the American-made Retail E-guide pdf (59 pages of over 2,700 American-made products available at American retail stores like Home Depot, TJ Maxx, Dollar Tree, etc)"
