Pack your lunch to save $$ Extension
Beating
the
cash crunch
All of us looking for ways to
trim our out of pocket
spending. And now that school
has started, look carefully at
your lunch expenses. With a
little planning some of the
following tips you can have
good tasting, nutritious and
less expensive lunches.
In restaurants appetizers,
desserts and beverages add
expense to a meal. Choose only
a main dish or a hearty side dish
such as soup, chowder or a
salad with meat and cheese. To
really save money pack down
brown bag lunches for work
and school.
Pack lunches right after
dinner using some of the
leftovers. If you get tired of
sandwiches, a good selection of
small, tight containers can
make carrying a lunch more
tasty. Thermos containers of
different sizes and shapes allow
for variety and help you avoid
buying more expensive pre
packed items. For example, it is
much cheaper to make your
own packages of chips in
plastic bags rather than using
pre-packaged chips. Doing
your own packing lets you
decide how much food goes
into a lunch, too.
Fruit juices, lemonade,
tomato juice and other liquids
can be frozen so that they are
still cold at lunch time. Carrots,
cucumber, celery and other
vegetables can be cup up or
filled with cheese spread for a
refreshing way to get vegetables
into a lunch.
F or sandwiches fillings,
buying lunch meat and cheese
slices, in bulk means savings.
Pre-sliced meats and cheese are
much higher priced that bulk
pieces. Buy tuna on sale and
mix in large quantities so that it
is ready for several days of the
week. However, be sure and use
tuna or meat spreads within a
week. Prepare leftover ham,
roast beef, hamburger or
chicken by grinding it up and
mixing it as you would tuna
and use as a sandwich spread.
By planning ahead for
lunches you can save money
and still have satisfying, good
tasting lunches at work and at
school.

Sewing can increase wardrobe, cut costs
Today’s working woman is
in a dilemma. Although her
busy lifestyle demands a well
ro u n d e d w a rd ro b e , her
paycheck is often gobbled up
by fo o d , h o u sin g , and
transportation costs. One
solution to keeping today’s
working woman on-budget and
well-dressed is to “sit down and
sew,” says Albrandt, Warm
Springs Reservation Extension
Agent.
“Easy for you to say,” you’re
thinking? Well, sewing today is
easier than it looks even for the
working woman who hasn’t
dared consider sewing since the
seventh grade when she may
have made an apron or
som ething similar. Forget
those nightmares you had
about putting on the waistband
and getting the pocket squared
just right. Home sewing has
changed considerably in the
last several years. Anyone who
fumbled over the fundamentals
before should take a second
look. Sewing can be enjoyable,
easy, efficient, and a money
saver.
S eptem ber is N ational
Sewing Month, and it’s a good
time to spotlight how fabric,
pattern, and notion companies
have streamlined the sewing
experience to make it creative,
profitable, and adaptable for
busy working women.
Fabric companies have
concentrated on blending
natural and man-made fibers to
make fabrics easy to work with,
care for, and wear.
The pattern companies have
developed fashion patterns that
fit easily into an employed
woman’s scheduled because
they can be made in a few hours
or in a day or two. Each pattern
uses simplified construction,
required limited sewing time,
and creates a welcome addition
to any wardrobe.
The notion companies have
been busy, too. Here are just a
few sewing “aids” to help
whittle down sewing time and
make projects effortless:
—Fusible Interfacing-Quick to
use; gives excellent results
(Stick on instead of sew on).

So to save money and have

can’t afford it, start sewing. If
you need individual help with a
sewing project or you have a
question to ask, call Pennie or
Pat at the Warm Springs
Extension Service office and
