Advertising claims about the health
giving properties of a food may be misleading. The best way
to ensure your family is being properly nourished is to plan
meals sensibly using a variety of foods.

Weekly specials in food lines can be slow
moving items nearing the end of their acceptable storage
life. Several weeks' storage in the home may be possible
with stable items such as canned goods, but storage for
many months without inspection should be avoided.

Avoid overbuying, particularly perishable
foods, but also so-called long-life foods such as canned
and dehydrated items. The convenience and economy of quantity
buying is lost if some of the food deteriorates or spoils
and you have to throw it out.
