In 1956, food and tobacco made up 32 per cent of the total expenditures. And that reminds us that you may not be spending as much to feed your family as you think, if you base your estimate on money spent at the grocery store. How about those ciga rette cartons? How about the items in the "liquid refresh ments" department? Those cleaning brushes and cooking utensils? That magazine and the toy for Junior? We challenge ; ou to try this for a month or two! Be fair to your food budget; To get an accurate figure on what it cost your family to eat, you may have to subtract a lot of items as indicated above. When you check your pur chases against your cash regisr ter stubs, mafk through all non-food purchases. And be surprised! The total amount of money spent only for food may be very encouraging.
