Newspaper Page TextHomemaker’s Corner iBBBHHB By RACHEL W TORRANCE r ~ Home Economist Tips For Food Shoppers In setting up a food budget, the amount you spend depends on how well the family likes to eat. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics model bud gets, a weekly food bill for a family of four (including two school age children), for example, might range from $33.00 for a low cost plan to $42.00 for a moderate scheme, to $51.00 for a liberal budget. The best time to shop is when you are not in a hurry, the stores are uncrowded and food supplies are plentiful. Some general rules to keep in mind include: 1. Read labels - to check information, number serv ings, size servings. 2. Use unit pricing offered in many stores. 3. Try store brands - some times these are less expensive. 4. Buy larger sizes - only if you can use it before spoiling. 5. Select foods according to use. For instance, whole canned vegetables are not necessary if they are going into a soup. 6. Use cents-off coupons -but only if the brand and size is really a good buy. 7. Buy according to season. In-season foods are usually more plentiful and econom ical. 8. Avoid “convenience” foods - especially fancy packs which have butter sauces added, which you could add to less cost. Compare * prices on items such as pre sugared cereals, cottage cheese with chives or pine apple, etc. 9. At check-out be sure items are rung up correctly. Every one can make a mistake. Meat makes up one-third of your food budget. Costs per serving is what counts, not cost per pound, since some cuts or types of meat have more waste than others. Buy meat on special. Watch ads. Buy lower grades. Budget cuts are cheaper but just as nutritious. They may require a longer preparation time. Be your own butcher. Whole chickens are usually cheaper than parts. Try variety meats. Such as organ meats. These are sometimes cheaper than ham burger and are excellent sources of important nutrients. Use meat substitutes. Fresh seafood often is a good buy when supplies are plentiful. Use some dried beans and peas and cheeses.
