Dmrnbrr 2, 1982 'Econo-Eating' By MONINE STRODE OSU Extension Service "How much should I expect to spend for food?" This is a question that is often asked at Oregon State University Ex tension offices. There is an extension bulletin that answers thast question: "Your Weekly Food Bill," a free publication that uses in formation from the U.S. De partment of Agriculture. It includes figures for each age group and a method that can be used to calculate the cost of food for various food plans. The plans assume that all food is purchased rather than grown and preserved as is the custom of many families in this area. For example, a family of four with grade school chil dren can expect to spend $56 a week on a thrifty plan which features basic food prepara tion with no convenience foods and a heavy reliance on dry beans, bread, cereals and po tatoes. The low -cost plan would cost 172 a week. The moderate-cost would Increase the quantities of milk, meat, fruits and vege tables and would allow the purchase of higher-priced meats and some convenience items for $90 a week. The liberal plan for $108 a week gives greater freedom of choice of menu; you could offer larger servings of meat and purchase some out -of- IZ A. demonstrates! iSoft Touch .Shadows A soft translucent fsilkv Dowder for 'lonq-Jastina flfadeproof colon Also y available in Duos T4.D0 ana inos 4.o. by PRINCE MATCH ABELU d? . .

It is helpful to have this kind of a guide. Keep in mind, however, that different fami lies have different resources, different lifestyles and diffor skills If you figure tbecost of food for your family and find your costs are higher, you may be able to find ways to reduce the costs. It does indi cate a high and low figure which gives you a reasonable ; expectation for your food budget. There are often feature stories about families that eat for much less. This may make you feel inadequate. But when you read the whole story, they usually spend a lot of time and have developed a lot of skills, which may or may not be something you are willing to do. I've known several really outstanding food managers through the years. My mother, who raised six children, was a super manager. She and Dad had gardens, canned lots of food, raised rabbits, bargain shopped, traded with friends, stretched the meat as far as it could be stretched and were very conscious of good nutri tion. Mother's philosophy was, "If you don't spend it at the grocery store, you'd have to spend it at the doctor's of fice." Needless to say, we were all really healthy, knew better than to turn our noses up at the food and learned to love lots of low-cost foods. The one thing I have noticed about these super managers is that they are continually learning new ways to save. They want to learn more about food preparation; they try new recipes; they learn new storage techniques; they in vestigate new places to shop. With all this learning they are continually upgrading their skills and using their creativ ity to ma ke that food dollar go further. What this says to me is "don't feel guilty about not saving as much as these people." Start learning the skills tha t will help you save in ways that are meaningful to yourfam ily. If you even learn one or two new skills a month, you will be very skillful in just a year. It becomes a delightful challenge to find ways that can help you save. You can contact the Oregon State University Extension Service office near you for a copy of the free bulletin, "Your Weekly Food Bill." Potato skins, a delightful food that has gained popular ity lately, are fun to have as snacks or main dishes. They are even great for breakfast. They can provide a spectacu lar way to use leftovers. Potato skins are easy to fix for one person or a crowd. You can bake potatoes specifically for potato skins or use leftover potatoes that have been re frigerated. Always refrigerate cooked potatoes. Research has shown that there is a real potential for food borne illness from cooked potatoes kept at room tempera lure. Potato Skins Baked potatoes Cooking Oil Salt and pepper; seasoned salt ,. - Topping of your choice Halve the baked potatoes lengthwise; scoop out potato ! pulp leaving a quarter inch of potato on the skins. Brush skins with oil; season to taste with salt , pepper and seasoned salt. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 475 degrees until crisp and, browned around the edges. This may take 10 to 15 minutes, or slightly longer if the potatoes are cold. Top with a filling and return to own for 5 minutes or until topping is hot. Use leftover potato pulp to mash or in a casserole, salad or soup. Potato Skin Toppings Use your imagination to develop toppings. It's a great , way to use that last chunk of meat, spaghetti sauce, chili., chip dip or creamed sauce. Then top with cheese and return to the oven to heat the topping.
