I look at overall cost.
Sure, I can get a ridiculous deal on a box (or whatever) now. But I'm sending my money to a company which has decided that overseas cheap labor is the answer to their problem. I'm casting a vote to encourage them to keep doing business as usual.
So what I'm gaining in the short term, I'm losing in the long run. I'm voting to put local workers out of a job and voting to make working conditions worse by making them compete with cheaper labor.
The cost of a product made in the US is often more expensive as its priced to maintain that product in the US.
