COPING STRATEGY FOR TODAY'S CONSUMERS The prices of goods and services continue a steep increase. "March's prices jumped an adjust ed 0.8%, equivalent to a 9.6% annual pace, and brought the inflation rate to a 9.3% annual rate in the first period" of 1978. April brought additional increases in raw materials and industrial parts and an increase in the prime rate for loans from one bank. ( The Wall Street Journal. May 1, 1978, p.l). STOP. LOOK. THINK. AND THEN SPEND is the best motto for today's consumers. Coping today will require a variety of techniques and practices. Some ideas to try include: 1. Pay obligations first, then be realistic and decide how much of the remaining money should be spent, saved, and shared. 2. Distinguish between needs and wants. Then plan to purchase needs first. Know your inventory or what is on hand and plan to use those items before buying addi tional items. Stay within your spending allowance. 3. Substitute one resource for another when possible. Look for ways you or other family members can save money by using time. COLLINS GIFTS FOR THE GRADUATE For < Young Ladies ? Lingerie ? Panties ? Slips ? Brassieres ? Robes it Slippers ?

For example: compare the actual cost of con venience; recycle or make-ovet items for further use; use time and talents to do or learn to do service jobs for the home, car, and personal care; and make gifts or perform a needed service for family and friends. 4. Study everyday living habits and reduce waste. Consumption habits are expensive. Things to avoid include: overbuying of pro ducts or convenience or luxury features on products, buying quan tities in excess of needs, impulse buying, excessive use of credit, and improper use and care of goods. 5. Consider the total cost of items before purchasing. The total costs include the price tag value plus the installation cost of any and the maintenance and upkeep cost. When possible, select items with low maintenance and upkeep costs. 6. For big ticket items, plan ahead and be prepared to purchase when there is a special price advantage such as a seasonal sale; or if cash can be paid, bargain for a price advantage. 7. Be cautious about borrowing. Avoid borrowing for everyday living needs. Remember, loans tie up future income and thereby can reduce money available for future consumption. When borrowing, shop around for the lowest finance charge. 8. Recycle items for further use by family members or others. For example : create novelty gifts from items on hand (surplus foods, fabric bits, or plants); recycle garments to up-date fashions or use creative patches or trims for worn garments (might start a fad), and use holey garments to make acces sories such as scarves, belts, hand bags, or establish an "Exchange Post" or "Pass- Along-System" among friends and neighbors (ex change surplus foods, clothing, equipment and household gadgets, tools educational or recreational materials, etc.). 9. Keep a close check on the miscellaneous items purchased. This accounts for many leaks in spending. Ask yourself if the money used for these items could be better used for other things. Add up the amount of money used for careless spending. 10. Carefully consider your transportation costs. Are they rath er high? Study the frequency and types of trips made by your family. Could trips be combined or reduced to lower transportation costs? Practice safe and legal driving habits to reduce costs of carelessness. 1 1 . Simplify your lifestyle ? consider living with the basics and skipping more of the luxuries, capitalize on human ability by learning and practicing do-it-your self skills, recycle all items for additional or other uses, and develop creative and productive hobbies that enhance life.
