PAGE 8 WARM SPRINGS, OREGON JANUARY 7, 1877 Be a s m a rt consum er Living with inflation is more and more of a challenge these days. It takes shopping know-how to make one’s money m eet household and personal needs. The following charts are price comparisons of clothing, large appliances, stereo equip ment, and television sets at frequently shopped stores in Central Oregon and Portland. The charts are meant to help you, the consumer, make wise purchases, considering also your time, travel cost, personal preferences, and quality and selection of goods. Compiled by the Extension Service, these consumer’s price charts will appear periodically in the Spilyay, covering a variety of goods and services. The Extension Service would appreciate your responses. Are the charts helpful, mildly in teresting, or not useful to you? What other cost comparisons would you like to see done? For comments or questions, contact Sue Gangler and Clint Jacks, Extension Agents. The Extension Office can be reach ed at 553-1161 ext. 46. CLOTHING Clothing varies between stores in price, quality, and selection. In this chart similar but not identical articles of clothing were compared between stores. Moreover, the chart's prices are moderately low averages of the range of prices on garments. For instance, boys' cotton T-shirts may cost $3-$7 in Store X, but they are listed as $4 on the chart. Acceptable quality is a personal decision that each consumer must deal with. However, do consider the construction, fabric, and care requirements versus the cost of a garment. A slightly higher priced and better quality garment may have a longer life than a less expensive and inferior one, a savings in the long run. In this chart, prices have been rounded to the nearest ten cents.
