Be a sm art consumer
L iv in g w ith in fla tio n is
more and more of a challenge
these days. I t takes shopping
know -how to
m ake
one’s
money m eet household and
personal needs.
The fo llo w in g c h a rts are
price comparisons of clothing,
large appliances, stereo equip­
m ent, and te le v is io n sets at
fre q u e n tly shopped stores in
Central Oregon and Portland.
The charts are meant to help
you, the consumer, make wise
purchases,
considering
also
your tim e, travel cost, personal
pre fe re n ce s, and q u a lity and
selection of goods.
Compiled by the Extension
Service, these consumer’s price
charts w ill appear periodically
would you like to see done?
in the S p ilya y, co ve rin g a
variety of goods and services.
The E xte n sio n S e rvice would
appreciate your responses. Are
the charts helpful, m ild ly in­
teresting, or not useful to you?

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.
