SEE those coupons, refund slips, free items, bonus gifts, 'and premiums. SAVE every coupon, box label, cap inner seal, tab, etc. SORT these into four groups: Food, Household Aids, Personal Aids, Misc. SPEND those coupons to best advantage. SEND for those cash refunds on a regular basis. We are beginning a new year. And with the new year, any of us like to make resolutions to change or alter some of our old habits that we are not pleased with or that we would like to improve. The more I write the Saving Sense column, the more I realize that saving involves more than just food saving through the use of coupons and refunds. We want to save everywhere we can. So I made a resolution to include some new ideas for saving in the column. , Housewives are the most ingenious people I know so Im hoping that you will send your great saving idea to me so I can pass them along to my readers. I think it can be a lot of fun as well as informative and helpful. So, please, share your money saving ideas with us. One thing that I have done for a long time is use leftover food. I read somewhere once, that as much as one-thiof the food cooked in the United States is thrown away. Perhaps you think your family does not like leftovers; that even if you save food that is cooked but not eaten it will just go into the refrigerator and remain there until it spoils and must be discarded later. Personally, if I serve, say, a beef roast for dinner on Monday, I dont like to eat leftover beef again for dinner on Tuesday. But if I leave it in the refrigerator for more than two days, I either forget it is there, or it gets dried out and is not appetizing to fix as a leftover. A good way to solve this is to fix it as something else right away and freeze it. rd I save the little aluminum pie tins that pot pies come in, or TV dinner (rays. Make the crusts for the pot pies with, bisquick, fill them with leftover meat or whatever your main course was, mix in the left over vegetables, pour in some left over gravy or meat stock, put on the top crust and freeze. Be sure to mark each one so you know what is in each one. I do this with tape attached to the bottom of the pie tin. Or you can wrap each one in aluminum foil and put a sticker on the top. However, you do it, be sure to mark it so that anyone can tell at a glance what each one contains, and like anything you freeze, dont forget to put the date you froze it on the container. One more hint I learned by sad experience is to save one shelf of your freezer for these items. I used to just put items in the freezer wherever I could find room. Now I have one shelf for vegetables, one for fruit, one for meat, etc. This makes it much easier to tell when some specific group of food is getting low or needs to have some of it used because it has been in the freezer for too long a time. My family especially liked the frozen pot pies or TV dinners because they could fix themselves a variety of meals at odd times. Also, small leftovers can be individually frozen and used for soups later, or you can make the soups and freeze them, ready for The main idea is, dont let those good leftovers go to waste. With a little effort, they can be made into appetizing and convenient meals for a later time. Another thought is, we received a lot of beautiful fruit for Christmas. How many of you threw away the peelings from oranges or lemons? Dont do it. Wash them then grind them up to freeze for later use in cookies or salads. Im sure a lot of you enjoy sewing. I made several items of clothing to give as Christmas gifts. Now what to do with the pieces of material that were left over? I never throw anything like this away. I do a lot of handwork and have pieces of yarn, crochet thread, embroidery thread and items such as these by the box full. I work on gifts made from these all through the year. . ths wear from them, it is worth the effort. And besides, you might be surprised how much the kids like the fancy patches you use to fix those worn out jeans. Well, keep couponing and refunding. Send in any ideas you have for saving and we will see how many new and unique ideas we can pass along to our friends. Im sure you have some very 1 good ones and I for one would love to hear about them.

But spending that "little extra" you should be saving makes you feel guilty. And you worry. One answer is to buy U.S. Savings Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan. Theyll take out thutlittle extra from each paycheck for Bonds. Youre automatically saving the amount you w ant to save, without ever seeing it. So you cant spend it. You wont even rmts it. But you can spend whats left of your pay (after bills) without feeling guilty. Without worry. Reg Burger, Med, Drink, Fry end Sundae Effective Thurs.. Jan. Gth thru Sat..
