CANTON, OHIO—Have you been forced to stand by helplessly and watch your pay check be eaten away by soaring food prices? Has the money you usually use for your well-deserved recreation suddenly disappeared? If your answer is yes, then you’re no different than me and millions of other angry Americans. On second thought, let me change that last statement. Because luckily, I’ve removed myself from that group of over-paying Americans. Allow me to explain. I’m a reporter. The publication I work for assigned me to do a story on rising food prices. My assignment brought me into contact with the GOOD NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY. They’re located here in Canton, Ohio, my hometown. They began to research food prices back in 1969, just when inflation was starting to become a serious problem. Now, after 4 years of secret research, they’ve finished their study and compiled all of their information in a comprehensive report. Here are a few of the things I’ve found you and I can do to lower our food budgets. Every family needs a good breakfast to start the day. Serve your family a nutritious breakfast for 30¢ less than you’re paying now. See Chapter 1. The average family of 4 drinks 350 gallons of milk a year. You can drink as many gallons of milk as you want at a 50% savings. See Chapter 2. The price of eggs have gone up. Pay 20 to 60% less than you do at the super market. See Chapter 2. The Russian wheat deal is affecting the price of bread. Eat a fresh bread at every meal, at a 30% discount. See Chapter 3. Is there ever an end to buying expensive lunch meat? Now you can buy a can of tuna fish that everyone likes at any time and you save between 20 to 40%. See Chapter 3. Stock up on canned goods. They never spoil. And pay 20 to 50% less than you would at the super market shelf. See Chapter 4. How to serve sirloin steak for the same price as hamburger. See Chapter 5. How to save 10 to 25% by purchasing pork and poultry products. See Chapter 5. Vitamin and mineral rich vegetables are a must for a well-rounded diet. Keep your family in glowing health with tasty vegetables served at a 20 to 60% discount. See Chapter 5. There never seems to be enough cola or fruit juice on hand. Your family can drink all the beverages they like, and you’ll pay 50% less. See Chapter 6. Your children can’t understand rising food costs. They want pastries, ice cream and snacks. Give them all the ice cream and pastries they can eat while saving 30 to 50%. See Chapter 6. How to buy the most edible food products, and save enough money to buy 30 to 45%. See Chapter 7.

I only have my husband, Bob and Missy, my little baby girl to feed. And I cut my own weekly food budget of $30 by 41¢ in 5 days. That’s a savings of $12.30 per week or $639.60 a year. We plan to use the money for a down payment on a new car we’ve always wanted. Friends with larger families, and weekly food budgets of $40 to $60 have saved even more. Many will save well over $300 in a year’s time. They’re all excited about the color T.V.’s, bicycles, boats and new clothes they’re going to buy with the money they’ve saved on food. I interviewed two local housewives who have read and used the report. Here’s what they had to say: “My family looks forward to dinner time now. They know they can expect sizzling sirloin steaks regularly. And my neighbors pay the same price for hamburgers as I do for steak. They haven’t taken the time to read the report.” —Sharon Besse 617 Front Street Canton, Ohio “I’ve got a family, so buying lunch meat, bread, pop, and ice cream was driving me to the poor house. I don’t have to worry about children away any more. And I’m saving 25 to 50% on these items. My husband is really proud of me.” —Harriet Stringer 42 Bark Avenue Canton, Ohio
