The eight bags and single carton of groceries had cost Mrs. Skovronsky a cool $1—the cost of a chance in the Lake- Lehman Band Sponsors Association’s shopping spree contest.

Filling her cart with assorted chops, roasts and steaks, she was urged by Marion Noon ‘‘not to forget the lobster tails!”’ She didn’t. Mrs. Skovronsky said later that she had visited the store the previous day to map out her strategy, which . included rounding up not only enough meat for several weeks but also canned mushrooms and five- pound tins of coffee.
