That question at the grocery store used to be about the kind of grocery bag you wanted. Now it may be asked to find out how are you going to pay for the groceries-cash, check or credit card, points out Alice Mills Morrow, OSU Extension family economics specialist. Many grocery stores now per mit the use of credit cards. While supermarkets may allow the use of credit cards, it may not be a good idea, cautions Morrow. Shoppers using credit cards are DMV office closed Oct. 19 The Heppner Department of Motor Vehicles office will be closed on Tuesday, Oct. 19 and Wednesday, Oct. 20 because of a training workshop in Salem. The office will be open regular hours the following Tuesday and Wednesday. The Condon travel run will be on Oct. 14. This is a week earlier than usual because of the same training workshop. Hours in Condon are 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. more likely to overspend and less likely to be aware of the cost of their purchases. And if the entire credit card balance is not paid when due, the intrest paid on the credit account will increase the cost of groceries substantially. Some supermarket ads say that using your credit card gives you a record of expenditures. Morrow suggests that saving the tape from the supermarket register provides a far better record of purchases than does a credit card statement. “ Making Ends Meet” , a video and discussion guide, is available at the Morrow County Extension O ffice, Pettyjohn O ffice Building, Heppner. There is no charge to borrow the tape. Call 676-9642. well as stopped talking. “ We lost our enthusiasm and intensity,” he added. Culver picked up the pieces and went on for the win, 15-12.
