Stretch Your MOk Dollars
You can buy milk for your family
in many forms - some costing
considerably more than others.
Price depends on whether milk is
fresh, cultured, canned or dried;
and whether vitamins and
minerals and milk solids have been
added.
The size of the milk container,
where you buy milk, and whether it
is home delivered make a dif
ference in the price of milk, too.
Many families stretch their
milk-buying dollars by using
nonfat dry milk in place of whole
fluid milk in cooking, and to some
extent, as a beverage. Mixed with
water to make fluid milk, nonfat
dry milk costs only about one-half
to two-thirds as much as an equal
amount of fresh whole milk.
Cheese, ice cream, and other
milk products can replace part of
the milk you need. To find the best
buys in hard cheeses, compare
costs to equal weights of the
varieties your family prefers. In
most cases:
Natural cheeses, particularly
those marked aged and sharp, cost
more than process cheese.
Grated cheeses cost more than

Plastic similar to what she uses,
she says, can be found in depart
ment stores in the children’s toy
section under the name, “Shrinky
Dink.”
A sharp pencil and scissors are a
must when marking and cutting
blocks, Jane says. She also advises
that a bias block never be put on
the outside of a pattern and that
seams of patches be butted to the
left and right of each other.
Concerning marketing of her
goods, Jane prefers selling on
consignment to local stores and
attending craft shows to selling
from her home. By doing this, she
explains, she doesn’t have to be
home at certain hours.
One of the things a newcomer
must learn, according to Jane, is

equal amounts of the same cheese
in wedges or sticks.
Cheeses in large boxes and jars
and cottage cheese in large cartons
cost less per pound than in smaller
containers.
Pasteurized process cheese costs
more and has more cheese flavor
than pasteurized process cheese
spread.
Cottage cheese with fruit costs
more than regular cottage cheese.
Yogurt, ice cream and ice milk
can replace milk in diets, but at
added cost. For example, % cup of
ice cream may cost three times as
much as the % cup of fluid milk it
replaces.
If There’s A Will,
There’s A Way
You work hard to bring up your
children. But, what happens if you
die? Who will take care of them? If
you’ve made a will, you’ve planned
who will raise diem and be
responsible for their financial
affairs. If you haven’t made a will,
the courts will appoint a guardian
for you often die nearest blood
relative and not necessarily
someone of your choice.
If parents die intestate (without
a will), the courts usually appoint a
which shows to attend. She
recommends striving to associate
with quality craft people and
advises against exhibiting crafts at
flea markets. Additionally, she
says, a serious craftsperson should
maintain her price. Regardless of
differing commissions paid by the
craftsperson, the price should
remain the same within a very
large locale. There should not be
differing prices for the same item
in neighboring stoes, she says, or
even in neighboring towns.
Lastly, Jane counsels
newcomers to attach a business
card to each piece of merchandise
and to keep an attractive booth.
She says a craftsperson has only 10
to 20 seconds to catch the attention
of a passerby with her wares.

When you are considering
possible guardians, think about
how well their ideals and interests
fit yours. Think about their
financial situation, and yours.
Think about their interest in taking
responsibility for your children.
Often young parents name their
parents as guardians. This can
lead to problems as your parents
age. Choosing whose brother or
sister or what friend would be best
is not easy.
When you do decide, discuss it
thoroughly with the person. Before
they agree, they should have a
clear idea of your intentions and
your hopes for your children.
None of us plan to die. But, for
your children’s sake, make plans
for their future without you.

children. A surviving parent or
grandparent is often the personal
guardian. Another relative or
friend is appointed the financial
guardian.
