Sharpen Your
( Shopping Skills
Most of us would like to
decrease shopping yet in-
, crease our savings when
we buy. Often, it's the little
* things that help us be bet-
ter shoppers and accom-
plish these goals.
Here are some tips for
sharpening your shopping
skills:
•Plan your spending.
Making a list will help you
do this.
*Shop for the best buy.
Compare prices and
quality. Go to several
stores when it is possible
and practical. Read and
understand guarantees.
Look for U.S. grades and
inspection stamps.
Remember that you don't
always need the highest '
quality.
*Buy only what yneed.
•Read labels and tags.
Labels give information.
They can help you under-
stand what you are buying
and how to use it.
•Count your change.
Check to see that things are
weighed correctly, and
check sales slips.
•Know where to buy. For
example, your local
discount drug store may of-
fer lower prices on some
items that you usually buy
at the grocery store.
•Know when to save
money. Get good buys by
shopping off-season,
following holidays, at an-
niversary sales, and at
weekend sales.
•Shop carefully and take
time to think about making
large purchases.
•For major purchase ,
find out about charges for
installation, delivery, ser-
vice and credit.
•Read before you sign to
make sure you understand
contracts.
•Use coupons to save
monej „n items, but don't
buy an unneeded item just
because you have a coupon
for it.

Choosing Food
And Fitness
With today's American
"lifestyle," we can no
longer automatically ex-
pect to be healthy and fit.
We have to consciously
choose the nutritious food
and exercise that will keep
us fit.
Since the beginning of the
century America has
changed from a physically
active, rural-based society
into a nation of sedentary
people. Modern technology
has made it possible for us
to live comfortably without
having to lift a finger. We
ride instead of walk, we
take elevators rather than
climb stairs, and we do
mental rather than
physical labor.
Estimates are that 4.*)
percent of the population
gets no exercise at all!
Despite the wonderful
advances of technology,
it's becoming clear that at
a certain point, effortless
living and good health are
not compatible. We have to
start making choices
To be healthy in the
future we are going to have
to imitate physically active
lifestyles of the past. The
exercise that our ancestors
got on the job, we must get
after hours.
Basic foods were all that
our ancestors had to eat.
Today we must consciously
choose a variety of foods to
meet our nutrient needs
from among the thousands
available 24 hours a day in
supermarkets, fast food
restaurants and vending
machines.
To be healthy in a world
til television, electric
toothbrushes, doors that
open automatically, all
night supermarkets and
spectator sports, we need
to develop clever fitness
game plans I or gelling
enough exercise
II we want to feel good,
we must fit Illness into our
lives
Over the next several
months. I ll be oilering 111
formation and ideas about
nutrition .ni<l fitness in this
