CONVENIENCE: Elderly housewives say it saves time and trouble of going to store on foot and carrying bundles home, or having to go at night or on crowded week ends when husband is home with family car. This was strongly stated by them as the biggest reason outweighing them all. Young mothers with children say it saves walking to store, carrying heavy bundles, dragging kids both ways if a neighbor is not available. Gives them more time for their housework and themselves. Those with closely restricted salaried incomes say they can live out of their freezer when the financial going gets rough ’near pay day. They don’t have to have cash to feed their families as they used to when they went to the store nearly every day. They also find many uses for their leftovers now that they can keep them for a while. They watch for bargains at the store and stock up. They cook larger quantities and store them in the freezer. In this way they can piece out a dinner right on through and keep their store-going to a minimum. They can also pay for their month’s food in one payment when they have money on the husband’s pay day. Saves them the trouble of spacing out their food spending day by day for a month. More and more are getting their daily products delivered to the home. They pay that at month-end too. It all adds up to saving them from having to sweat out each month’s budget day by day. Working housewives say a freezer and food in it is a God-send. No more stop ping on the way home for food and mentally putting together a dinner menu for the kids and a working husband. Store-going is kept to a minimum. She can cook larger quantities and keep it. As she comes home each day her family’s dinner is mostly in the freezer. Preparation is at a minimum. She heats things up, mainly. Budget problems food-wise are at a minimum. Big basic food items are paid for once a month. All seem to swear by it, not at, their food plans. Its convenience was the most important thing to them. » 2. BETTER FOOD: Nearly all somehow felt the food, especially meat, was better. No particular reason was given except that it was tender and tasty and they Just liked it better. Many who had never before used frozen vegetables and juices were now very happy with them. In fact, most liked them better than fresh products. 3. MONEY-SAVINGS: Most didn’t know if they were saving any money on the deal or not and didn’t seem to care much. The convenience was worth it. A num ber of young housewives said that all they knew was that they now had budget money left over. Before the Rich Plan, they didn’t. That satisfied them.
