Shopping on a budget
January is named for
Janus, the two-faced god
with the rare ability to sec in
amount lu quite a windfall
for the January tood budget.
And with things cleaned out,
you'll have a well-organlzied
place to store the next
supply.
Following your family’s
preferences and food on
hand, put a week's meal
plans on paper. You can
stretch the savings by doing
this with the food store ads at
your side. Include the week’s
specials whenever possible.
Check your plans against
the basic food groups. There
should be two servings from
the milk group for the adults
in your family; up to four
servings for teenagers and
nursing mothers. Two
servings from the meat
group (or protein sub
stitutes), and four from the
breds and cereals group are
needed. Plan on four from
the fruits and vegetables
group. Include one citrus
fruit or another good source
of Vitamin C daily. Every
other day, serve a dark
green or deep yellow fruit or
vegetable.
Few homemakers make
complete meal plans week in
and week out, but do it long
enough to feel in control of
the basics. Later on, you can
join the experienced shop
pers who get by with a
rudimentary, or perhaps a
mental list, knowing exactly
how many purchases from
each department will supply
the week’s needs. That
comes with practice. But for
starters, it will pay to get it
down on paper. Make sure
that you and your family are
among those obtaining good
nutrition on a well-planned
budget.
two directions at once. You
may feel a little like Janus,
yourself, watching the
holiday bills roll in Just as
you're looking ahead to a
better budget for the new
year.
When it comes to the food
budget, it helps if you’re a
planner. Like so many things
that are good for us, plan
ning menus and making
shopping lists are high
hurdles for all but the
determined.
But the rewards are high,
too, according to Dairy
Council Inc., of Southamp
ton, Pa, The shoppers who go
to the store armed with a list
based on good meal plans
stand to win in several ways.
Their families are most apt
to get the nutrients they
need. Trips to the store will
be fewer, as they’re less
likely to forget essentials.
Leftovers can be more in
teresting when planned and
impulse buying is reduced.
In making your meal
plans, there are several
places you can turn for help.
The first is to your family.
Take a survey of dishes
they’d like served more
often. Then add whatever is
necessary to provide a
balanced diet. No matter
bow nutritious, food won’t do
much for them if it’s left on
the plate.
You can also begin by
seeing what foods are on
hand. Make an inventory of
the pantry, refrigerator, and
freezer. Use up whatever
you can in the first week or
two of plans. That should
