B3o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 25,1984
EBENSBURG February is a
good month for food shopping. The
fact that there are only 29 days in
the month helps your budget', even
though you have to make up for it
in March.
February is a month of festive
occasions that provide retailers
with opportunities to promote
feature foods. The second month
features Groundhog Day, two
presidents’ birthdays and
Valentine’s Dsy.
February marks the arrival of
foods that signal the coming of
spring. Soon to be appearing on
fresh produce counters are
strawberries, new round red
potatoes, asparagus and hothouse
rhubarb.
Even though February can be a
long, dreary month for those of us
who live in the North, food shop
ping in February can brighten the
outlook for better days ahead.

Feb. Food Shopping Brightens Outlook
Take Advantage of
Meat Specials
Though things still look fairly
bright at the meat counter, darker
days - probably late this summer -
are ahead. By then retail prices
will start to advance as supplies
become tighter. Right now
livestock producers are still
reducing herds by sending more
animals than usual to market.
These increased marketings result
from last summer’s drought,
reduced feed supplies and higher
prices. There should be some at
tractive beef and pork specials
through the end of March. Retail
meat prices will likely remain
fairly steady through spring and
then start to move up by summer.
Now through March would be the
best time to stock the freezer
whenever you see specials on your
favorite cuts, according to Mary
Schreyer, Extension home
economist.

Buy Large Roast For
“Planned Overs”
The expression “cold shoulder”
originated as a result of a change
in the menu. In days gone by,
roasts of meat were served to
welcome guests, but for those who
overstayed their welcome cold
shoulder and other leftovers began
to appear on the table.
Today, the smart shopper counts
on “planned overs.” Large chuck
roasts are often a smart choice.
You can cook the whole roast for
planned overs. One idea might be
to use part of the cooked roast to
make sandwich filling. With
today’s new food processors it’s
very easy to incorporate your
favorite ingredients to make a

tasty sandwich filling that’s less
expensive than lunch meat.
Or before cooking you could cut
the roast into three different
meals, particulaly a round bone or
an arm chuck roast. One-third of
the roast could be cut and sliced as
steaks for swissing; the middle
third could be used for a pot roast;
the other third could be cubed for
stews or cut into strips for
stroganoff. With some planning,
you won’t get the “cold shoulder”
from the family.
Large Eggs
A Better Buy
Whenever egg prices reach a
relatively high level, many
shoppers assume it is cheaper to
buy the smaller sizes because they
S Selective
Feeder
are a few cents lower in price. It’s
often false economy. At present
prices it would take more than a 17-
cent spread for the next smaller
size to be a better buy, assuming
large eggs are costing between
$1.33 and $1.39 p dozen.
Just remember that a dozen
large eggs weighs 24 ounces and
that only three ounces separate the
sizes. If you divide 24 ounces into
the price of large eggs, let’s say
$1.35 a dozen, then they cost a little
more than 5 Vz cents an ounce. A
dozen medium-size eggs weighs 21
ounces; to be an equal value or
better buy they would have to cost
less than $l.lB a dozen, or 17 cents
less. In many stores price spreads
are ranging from 2 to 6 cents.
