PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1974, WHITBY FREE PRESS BIRD'S EVE _JIèlf0QI/AIL Comm itti ng A Savings For ail of you out there who are workiîg liard at the Scrooge bit 1 have decided to give you some of my pers- onal tips on how-to commnit a savings because of thue ter; rifie response to the previous column on lîow to comnmit a neatîîess. Weil... îîever mnîd the response, 1J"in going to tell you anyway. Saving aîîy amouint of rnoney ini these troubied tirnesis a difficult task so you mnust be ruthless when it cornes to pennîy pinclîing. Let's start with grocery shopping. The first thing you have té do lis learn wlîat the prices are of ev- erything you need from week to week and what is a. good price and what is a ripoff. Every week the grocery stores have sales and they ai- ways advertise them in the paper. Now tlîe trick is to find a litt 'er container that is used quite often and with luîck and a littie rwnmaging you cari pull out a day old paper two out of three tries. Doîî't dilly dally with :îews of bom- bings. killings and general mayhemn but go straight for the real tragedies, the food ads. Every food chain selîs somîe goods at bargaiîî prices bo get you into the store so you'il buy other goods with a higher profit margin. Go through the ads and circie with a borrowed red pencîl the goods that are on sale and which look like good buvs. Becauise the supermarkets mnay nîot ail be ini the sanie area it will probably be necessary to borrow a bicycle froni your neighbour's kid and if the markets are too far apart then try for the neighbour's car. With your food ads in hand and transportation arranged you're almost ready to go. i say almost because the last thing you' shonld do before departing on a grocery buying spree is make yourself a meal froni ail the leftovers ini the fridge - furry or not. Go out of your way to make a part- icularly bad meal and then gobble it down quickiy, ensur- ing indigestion. If the meal was bad enough you will swear on the spot that you are off food for life. The worst thing you can do is go shopping on an enîpty stomach because you will buy ail sorts of foolish things, but after a rotten meal yo'u'Ii have to find the strength just to look at the food in the supermarket and heuîce you buy only what you set ont to buy. Once in the market head right for the iteins you 'vant and don't even look at anything else ini case you are tenipted to buy. It may happen Iliat wlîen you get to the proper aisle the shelf is bare and it appears the goods on sale are out of stock. Don't you believe it! Grab a stock boy anîd rarch him to the back room 10o get a new suppiy. If the stock boy comes back empty handed witlî a shrug of his should- ers tell him you want a ramn check or a bail check or wlîat- ever and if he plays duîîîb get tlhe manager. Let thie want at the grocery store. the drug store or the cut-rate clotlîiîg store. Most of tiiese places seil sox, undies, shirts and even made-iîî.Taiwan toques. The onlly tiîing you have to watch about buying ciothes from the orient is that thiey inake the little rascals smaller tiiere tli they do luere so if you wanî a mediunm theîî shop for a large. There are aiways bargains arouîid sucli as nionth old bread, used ice crearni. refilied bail point pens, used liglît bulbs and day old cigar butts. Witli a little practice you ean be pincinig pennies witlî tie best of themn but pinch quick- ly, I hear the priceof a pennly is going up 10 three cents. Couil.
