Impulse Vs. Plan
Shopping by impulse is an ideal
way to get poor returns for the
money, time and effort spent at
the grocery store, food economists
of the U. S. Department of Agri
culture remind housewives. The
“impulse shopper” goes to mar
ket without planning menus and
shopping list ahead, and when
there, tries to remember what she
needs or decide what she wants.
The result is likely to be forgot
ten items and thus return trips to
market, mistakes like buying too
little or too much, and especial
ly purchasing extras which may
not be used or high cost luxuries
which bulge the budget. The im
pulse shopper buys what appeals
to her at the moment rather than
what her family needs and what
fits her pocketbook.
A little pencil and paper work
at home can save money, time
and effort especially at this busy
holiday season. A market list
in hand rather than in the head
makes for efficient and easy shop
ping. Make a general plan for
menus for a few days ahead, de
pend ig on the storage space In
the kitchen. Check menus with
the basic seven food guide to be
sure all essentials for good nu
_I
trition are included, and then cal
culate cost to fit the budget. From
these menus write out a list of
both hind and quantity of foods
needed and other thrifty details,
^uoh as grade or size of items.
Most women find that a market
list written in ink on a small card
is easiest to read and carry. For
shopping in a self-service store,
save walking back and forth by
listing foods in order of their ar
rangement in the market.
Plan to shop when stores are
least crowded and when your
store usually stocks its fresh sup
plies. Very often the best time
is after breakfast. Shoppers who
are tired often do not use their
best judgment in buying, and
those who are hungry may buy
too much or too expensive foods.
It is often necessary to adjust
the market list to what markets
°Her- Staples like flour or sugar
can be listed definitely, but
meats, fish or poultry for the
main dish, and vegetables and
fruits often need to bp chosen
according to supplies and prices.
In buying vegetables and fruits,
I compare price per serving of
fresh, frozen, canned or dried be
fore making a selection. In buy
ing meat, eggs, and canned goods
take advantage of cheaper grades
where possible for budget meals.
These offer as much nutritive
value as higher grades and often
are just as good for many cook
ing purposes or for mixed dishes.
Pork Season
The season of the year for fresh
pork is with us again and pigs
are plentiful. Because of the
uniform age of slaughtering and
greater uniformity in type of ani
mal, there is less variation of
quality in pork than any other
kind of meat
Pork of poor quality is deep and
red in color, has little fat, and is
soft and flabby. Pork may be
sold either fresh or cured. If not
used as a fresh meat, it is cured,
smoked, rendered into lard or
made into sausage.
Ham is one of the most impor
tant cuts of pork. It is usually
cured, smoked and sold for bak
ing, frying, or broiling. Fresh
or cured hams may be sold as
skinned or regular. "Regular” is
the ham as cured. "Skinned" has
the skin and some fat removed
leaving not more than 1% inches
of fat. It sells for several cents
a pound more-than regular. One
pound makes two to three serv
ings.
Boneless ham is either regular
or skinned and costs more be
cause the bone has been removed
and there is less wastes
Tenderized ham is partially or
completely cooked. Read the la
bel to see if further cooking is
necessary. All pork should be
thoroughly cooked to avoid the
danger of trichonosis. “Tender”
hams or hams that are ready for
the table use should be kept un
der refrigeration from the time
they leave the packing plant un
til they are eaten, as they tend
to spoil if not properly handled.
Baked and boiled ham is bone
less ham that has been baked or
boiled for use as cold cuts. Baked
