Some toods are labeled with a “pull-date,” which is the last day the product can be sold as fresh. Because the producer wants to keep the good will of customers, the date is usually well in advance of the time when the product starts to lose quality. Look for a pull-date on fresh or packaged meat, cheese, milk and yogurt. After the pull- dates expire, more stores move the products and reduce their p rices. If the p ro d u c t’s packaging is in good condition, the food is still nutritious and of good quality. Such foods offer real savings if the product Wise use of the “marked- is one you use and enjoy. In the produce department down bin” at the grocery store can save you money, however, you must learn to recognize Beating the cash crunch defects that affect the quality of fresh foods. Fresh produce with cuts, bruises or signs of spoilage is not a good buy. Even if the price is low and the damage can be cut away, the flavor or texture of the whole vegetable or fruit may be affected. When looking at marked down canned goods, check the seam for rust and never buy a can that has bulged ends. Your judgem ent is needed on packaged goods th at are damaged. Rice, noodles, and dried peas and beans will not suffer from a store-damaged package, but cereals and prepared foods should be examined carefully to see that the food has not been contaminated. Beginning the garden As newly planted garden vegetbles begin to grow, weeds will start coming up. in the garden too. “It’s important to remove this weedy competition if the vegetable plants are to flourish, but he cautions against the use of herbicides for weed control. Using chemical means to eliminate weeds on such a small scale isn’t practical. Removing the weeds with a hoe may be hard work, but it’s more effective and cuts down on the amount of chemicals used on the garden. Gardeners planning to use organic matter in their gardens to provide nu trien ts for vegetable plants should be aware that organic fertilizers work best in warm weather. Cold, wet weather prevents organic materials such as The key is soil temperature. manure and compost from Cold soil temperatures slow the breaking down into forms of breakdown of organic matter. nutrients that plants can use.

Money should be discussed before marrying Family Lifelines— Springtime is wedding time, but engaged couples may make h a p p ie r, m ore successful marriages if they share their financial goals and expecta tions before tying the knot. Money is a difficult topic to talk about, especially when y o u ’re e a g e r to a v o id d isa g re e m e n ts w ith y our spouse-to-be. As a result, you may hide J/our_ spending preferences and set the stage for future misunderstandings. Money was named as a source of conflict by more than half of the families surveyed in a recent study. The major role money plays in marriages makes it im p o rtan t th at engaged couples make sure they are as compatible in money matters as they are in other areas. As a couple, list all the expenses you would face in a month, including appliance repairs, church contributions, clothing, furniture, hair styling, life insurance, rent, supplies for an anticipated baby, utilities, .savings.. a n d . .others^. .Th^P.' imagine you have a very low income, and individually, rank the top items you would pay for first. Comparing the lists can help you see whether your ideas are the same or you have very different priorities. Resear chers have found that men and women frequently rank their first three priorities alike, choosing rent, food and medical insurance. Priorities differ farther down the list. Couples also will want to discuss their expectations for debt, car purchases, rent or mortgage costs, income needed to live com fortably and paycheck allocation. Couples shpulik.ajçq. decide who wiM’ manage the money, pay bills, keep records and prepare budgets. Budgeting can reduce the number of conflicts couples will face. While agreeing on a budget can be dificult, it’s easier to .see daily expenses in relation to the couple’s total financial picture through a budget. In addition to daily budgeting concerns, couples need to discuss long-range wants. Whether they intend to save for annual trips, new cars, a house or higher education, they may find married life easier if they can work toward common goals. As you com pare your priorities, you may find you c a n n o t a g ree on som e expenditures. Your partner may insist on spendng money for a concert when yoü would rather go bowling. If your differences are so great that you decide you could never be happy together, perhaps it’s better you discover those difference before you marry. But you also may use financial differences to build communi cation skills, learn to solve p r o b le m s t o g e t h e r a n d strengthen your relationship.
