Don’t Gomble With Security
Money laid aside for retirement, a college fund,
or family welfare deserves special treatment.
It should be saved where there is no question
about safety. It should be readily available
without penalty. It should earn a good return.
That's why most people use a savings account
in which to accumulate a reserve. We invite
your account, and in any amount, it's welcome.

Have You Heard? ...
Bj Doric Thomas, Extension Home Economist
Food shopping would be quite simple if your family would e.il
only dry skim milk, floin, sweet potatoes, cabbage, and maiganne
Specific amounts of these five foods would furnish all the food
nutrients your body needs at a veiy low cost,
but meal time would be unsatisfying and mo
notonous
We still have to shop for food and eveiyone
complains about it. But, you can cut your food
bill if you give it a little planning and thought
It is possible to save from 10 to 15 per cent
For a family spending $4O pei week at the
groceiy store, that's a savings of $2OB to $312 a
year
Plan Before You Shop
Planning pm chases befoie >ou go to the stoic
and making a shopping list aie the fiist guides
to cutting join gioceis bill If >ou icly only on
the food shelves as lemindeis of
what to buy, you will fall pi ey to
two of the most common budget
smasheis
You will likely make moie
impulse pm chases such as high
cost, out-of-season pioducts of
snacks that add little food value
but a lot to the food bill Sec
ondly you will piobably foiget
to buy many of the items you
truly need.
This means another trip to the
store where you will again be
exposed to the items you do not
need or othei wise might not pur
chase.
So do some armchair market
ing at home and make a shop
ping list.
Shop The Specials
Research has shown that food
shoppers can save six to ten per
cent on food bills by shopping
the specials.
Over the years, retailers have
increased the number of items
put on special until now the
variety offered each week makes
it possible to plan complete
menus at reduced costs
But the only way to really
tecognize a special is to know the
tegulai price Study the food ads
in the newspapei and then plan
weekly menus and yoiu list to

ladies.
include as many “specialed”
foods as possible
Most stoics have m-stoie fea-
tuies that aie not adveitised in
the newspapei so keep youi eyes
open when you get to the stoit,
too
National Brand, Private Label
You may have noticed that
pnvate label of store btand pic
ducts m your favorite groceiy
store are generally priced lower
than national brand products
National biands are controlled
bj a manufactmer who pioduces
and markets his products, advei
tismg them nationally.
Pnvate labels are marketed by
a supei market chain or a group
of independently owned stores
with limited distiibution and ad
vertising There are many in
stances where the same processor
packs an item in both national
and store brands.
If you are looking for ways to
cut your food bill see if the
pnvate label will suit your fam
ily’s taste
Grocery vs. Food Bill
If youi food bill is getting out
of-hand maybe you should look a
little more closely at what is in
youi groceiy bags Moie than 20
pei cent of the value of those
‘gioceues” you bung home is
made up of non-food items
Consumeis buy at the gioceiy
store about 90 per cent of all cal,
dog and bud food, moie than
half of the toothpaste, half of
the aspirin, and nearly half of
all the hair spiay sold in this
country When you giumble
about the food bill, remember
the non-food costs as well
