la your food shopping, don't
waste dollars. A recent national
survey revealed that convenience
store prices average 13% above
sapcraarkeb. Abo. the average
faanty throws away between 7 and
10% of the food they buy by over
estimating the amount needed or
foliating you have more food
thaa you can use in the
refrigerator. Are you guilty?
This survey said yellow, orange
and red packaged items are "silent
sellers" and somehow wind up in
the greater percentage of the carts
when the bomemaker is buying a
week's supply of food. Beware of
multiple pricing, for example 3 for
89c
A similar food may sell for 28?
each.
Three of them would cost only
84C if bought individually. Waste
not! Remember, one cup of un
cooked rice will yield 3 cups when
cooked. One cup of uncooked
macaroni will yield 2 1/4 cups
when cooked. One cup of uncook
ed noodles yields 1 1/4 cups cook
ed. So if you do wind up with rice
or pasta left over, stir-fry with bits
of meat and vegetable for a quickie
meal.

recipe for sausage cake.
KEROSENE HEATERS
Kerosene heaters have brought
added warmth to North Carolina,
but they have also brought a new
problem
People are not filling the heaters
outdoors and kerosene makes a
nasty stain on a carpet when t he in
evitable spiU occurs. It ako has a
very unpleasant odor.
If you have spilled kerosene on
your carpet, treat it as a grease
stain. Perchloroethylene is
available from a local dry cleaning
establishment .
You aay caU around to find one
that will sel the fhbd to you. Using
a dean dotk or ^inaae. blot the
grease solvent oa the stain. The
idea is to get the sorface of the rug
damp, but not wet. If the fluid is
allowed to soak the nig. it will
(hair the latex backing of the
rut- Then using an absorbent
material, such as a dean doth or
paper toveb, blot up the kerosene
that the grease solvent is hrruling
up. Then let the spot dry.
It may take several applications
to get ail of the stain up, bnt it a
necessary to kt the spot dry out
between applications.
If the stain is very large, you
may have to call in a commercial
carpet cleaner. The only way to get
rid of the odor of the spiitd
kerosene is to use a room
deodoruer and increase the ven
tilation by opening a door or win
dows.

Hint
If you have a gas stove, make
sure the pilot light is burning effi
ciently - with a blue flame.
A yellowish flame indicates an
adjustment is needed.
