IMAIUCET BASICET RETAIL PWCXJa , By Hymaa H. Cohea Mr.' and Mrs. Average Consumer d not appear to realise that they are today wasting: considerable money by buying; many foodstuffs in fancy packages in stead of In bulk. While In some lines it is trde that better quality is occasion ally obtainable in packages, that is not generally the rule. . For instance, in coffee alone the con sumer can save from 10 to 15c a pound by purchasing In bulk instead of In tins. Almost every family hag a surplus of tin cans that once contained coffee. These can be used to put the bulk stock into. The same Is true of oats.. Boiled oata can be purchased much cheaper in bulk than in packages and similar quality ob tained. .::.- ; " The same is true of soda crackers and in many other lines. There are many chances to save if the consumer will in vestigate. - The fallowing prices ru'ed generally in retail shops for good quality.
