'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-

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.
