Consumer Food News
“Prudent shopping” will
characterize wise con-
sumerism at grocery markets
this week, Mrs. Gwendolyne
Clyatt says.
“Few changes are apparent
at the beef counter during the
past week, but good values can
be found on chuck cuts, ground
beef, sirloin, round and rib
steaks and liver.
“Pork prices remain high,
although specials may be
found on Boston butt roasts,
quarter-loin sliced into chops,
smoked picnics, some brands
of bacon and liver. But ham
prices may increase even more
as Easter nears,” she said.
Mrs. Clyatt is a consumer
marketing information
specialist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice, The Texas A&M
University System.
She noted that egg prices are
moderate, and she reminded
consumers that protein-wise,
two eggs equal two to three
ounces of cooked meat, which
is one serving.
“In the dairy department,
special prices appear on a
number of cheeses, so pupular
during Lent.
“Fryer chickens, both whole
bird and pieces, are featured in

some stores, and turkeys ai^
receiving the same special
price advantages.”
Many grocery stores are
offering features on tuna fish,
peanut butter, canned tomato
products and cling peaches,
she added.
“At vegetable counters,
consumers most interested in
economizing will select carrots
and cabbage. Also dry onion
prices are a bit lower now, and
mustard, collards, turnip and
greens, rutabagas, acorn and
banana squash are other good
vegetable choices pricewise.
“Good buys in citrus fruit are
grapfruit and oranges sold in
bags from five to eighteen
pounds. Prices on both apples
and pears remain about the
same this week as the past few
weeks. Strawberries are in
moderate supply, with prices
coming down.
“Large storage supplies of
Red Emperor grapes indicate
consumers will find plenty of
good quality grapes available
at pleasant prices,” the
specialist said.

THANKS A MILLION
To my many dear friends,
please accept my heartfelt
thanks for the kindness and
prayers offered during my
illness. I especially thank the
blood donors, ministers and
members of the various
churches for their prayers
and blessings. It is a joy to be
remembered by my fellow
Kiwanians. Their many good
deeds are greatly ap-
preciated. My wife also
appreciates the kindness
shown her. It made her task
much easier to carry on.
Very Sincerely,
Sam Isenberg
