Inflation Fighting Tips To
Shave Those Rising ('osts
Everybody lias been inflation conscious for a long time
now, but with soaring prices, actual and anticipated product
shortages, and the President’s recent inflation message, the
problem is again emphasized. While we don't claim that there
are many bargains at today's prices, there are some ways to get
better buys and make the shopping dollar go a little farther.
One possible way to save is
to buy such things as
wind-breakers, jeans, and Boy
or Girl Scout equipment at
army/navy surplus stores.
Such stores are often gold
mines of merchandise besides
sporting clothes. Remember,
though, not everything in
such stores is a good buy;
some of the merchandise will
still be overpriced. So, it is
HOUSTON HOMK JOURNAL TIIURS., OCT. 17, 1974,
still important to compare
prices.
Another possible source of
good clothing buys is
second-hand stores. This
would not work too well for
dress-up clothes, but for
clothes your children wear
when playing football or
your husband wears when
working in the basement such
stores also offer savings.
Another sneaky way to save
on some items is to buy
clothes for girls, or even small
women, in the boy’s
department. Such unisex
styles as rain coats, sneakers,
sweat shirts, etc., almost
always cost less in the boy’s
department.
Sales, of course, may offer
good buys, but you should
still compare prices. Even in
legitimate sales the prices of
similar merchandise can vary
as much as 50 per cent, and
some so-called sales are
simply come-ons to get
people into the store to buy
overpriced merchandise; Be
particularly carofull of
going-out-of-business sales,
fire sales and salvage sales.
Some stores have been “going
out of business” for years. On
the other hand, legitimate
unclaimed merchandise sales
(often sponsored by laundry
and dry cleaning stores) offer
excellent buys.
Try to plan your shopping
around seasonal sales, and
always check the papers for
special sales. As a matter of
fact, one good inflation
fighting tactic is to make it a
rule to never buy anything
that costs over five dollars
unless it is on sale. If possible,
have a regular sales lady who
will call you when she knows
that something you want is
going on sale.
It is often good to buy
“seconds.” Seconds are
simply merchandise that has a
manufacturer’s flaw. For
instance, a chair may have
one leg slightly shorter than
the others, the color may not
be perfectly uniform in a set
of china, or a dress may have
a slight pull in the fabric. In
many cases, the flaws are
hardly noticable, but the
merchandise is sold at a
fraction of its intended cost.
Warning: It is always better if
you can find the flaw. For
instance, a flaw you can’t
detect could be that the
fabric was not sized properly
and will shrink. Not all stores
carry seconds, and some carry
seconds only in certain
departments. Don’t be
ashamed! Ask the manager if
the store handles seconds,
and where they are.
(PS-Often the manager and
sales personnel are as anxious

to buy the seconds as you
are.)
When buying furniture,
check the papers for
warehouse sales. Also check
the classified ads to see if
what you need is offered for
sale by an individual.
Goodwill and Salvation Army
second-hand stores often have
excellent furniture and
appliance buys. Garage sales
and moving sales may also
offer good buys, but be
careful and only buy
merchandise that you really
need. Don’t give way to
impulse.
Grocery costs are
everybody’s biggest headache
right now, and most experts
agree that they will continue
to go up for the next year or
more. It is usually better to
trade at a large super market
rather than a private grocery,
as they make most of their
profit on volume rather than
high product markups. Be
sure to read the grocery ads
to sec which store'
consistently offers the best
buys. Then, even though
certain individual items may
be higher than those in
another store, it is best trr
stick to one. You will still,
save on your total bill, if
there is a store that is far
away from where you live,
but which offers much better
prices than those near yo,u,
form a car pool. You can save
this way if three or four
people are splitting the cost.,
of the gas. Always use any (
discount coupons you may {
have, but only if they are for ■>
items you would bsy \
anyway. Make a list and ’
to it. The big mark ups me i
not on staples, but on such |
impulse foods as candy, f
potato chips, or, for that ,
matter, caviar. House brands
usually are cheaper than
name brands, and they dre t
also usually manufactured by J
the same companies that ;
make the name brands. |
However, house brands are I
not always the lowest priced, J
so still compare prices. '
Another way to shave grocery j
costs a little is to buy sUch I
things as butter, bacon, pork ”
chops, etc., in a solid block ]•
and slice them yourself. Os ,
course, pre-mixed and'
convenience foods always
cost more than those ypu I
make from scratch, and t
frozen foods usually cost
more than canned or fresh. 1
When buying meat, avoid cuts 1
that have bones. A pound j
with bones usually only j
serves two people, while a '■
pound without serves three or
four. You also pay for the :
weight of the bones, even if,
you have no use for them. :
Chuck roast and ground
chuck are the cheapest beef
buys. Other good buys j
include such things as liver or
kidneys, and they have as *
much or more nutrition than '
T-bone steak. Turkey is a
good buy, and not just on
Thanksgiving. Like chicken, it
is a good buy all year uroud.
No matter what you’re J
buying, plan in advance and f
make a list. Head ads and
compare prices between
different stores and different
brands. Try to combine
errands, and shop with other
people to save energy. When .
in doubt, don’t buy. Take a
day to think it over. Be sure
you know what each store’s,
return and exchange policy is.
Most of all, don’t shop when ‘
you’re tired, hungry, upset or;
your feet hurt. Studies have
actually shown that such
feelings make you spend
more, and for things you ‘
don’t need. (PHN)
