Yes, I suppose it might have yielded different results if I'd looked
anywhere for U.S. Made items.
And honestly I ranked the department store first, THEN U.S. Made, and
then price. I would have been fine with paying more for a U.S. made
item in a department store. Of course there's some kind of
correlation between department store and price but price was not
ranked above U.S. Made.
