Show 8B Sun Advocate, Price, Utah Wednesday, October 13, 1982 supermarket shopper martin sloan wuzuuu m ini&m Report stolen refund money Dear Martin: I Today received a refund envelope in the mail and when I slit the envelope at the top, I found there was also a slit along the side. All I found inside was a blank piece of paper that said: Thank you for using Alberto-Culvproducts. It looks like some thief has stolen my refund money! I really feel mad about this. What should I do? Sign me Mad in Michigan! Dear Mad: The evidence seems clear that your mail has been tampered with and there has been a theft. First, I would go to your postmaster and show him the envelope and contents and have him report this. Next, I would write to Alberto-Culve- r (send a copy of the letter to the fulfillment house that handled the refund thats the address to which you sent your refund request) and describe the condition in which you received the refund envelope. It is very important that these thefts be reported. If we dont report them, there wont be any investigation, and the refund thieves will be free to keep on stealing from us. Dear Martin: I want to give a big cheer to my two paper boys, Jimmy and Kenny. They always make sure that the color coupon inserts are in my Sunday paper, and on food day I always find an extra paper at my door. I think they get a kick out of seeing me bouncing back from my mail box with my refund checks. They earn the tips I give them and Ill be sure to remember them at Christmas. Theyre a great help to me and so I urge readers to be kind and thoughtful to their paper carriers. Gloria, Billerica, Mass.

SMART SHOPPER AWARD The Smart Shopper Award goes to Marie Borghi of Milford, Mass. Her supermarket had the bottle of Hawaiian Punch, usually $1.33, on sale for $1.15. Marie had coupons that totaled $1.25 which the store doubled, and she paid only $4.40 for six bottles. When she got home she found two different Hawaiian Punch refund offers. A $1.00 refund asked for two quality seals and a $2.50 refund required six Universal Product Codes. That gave me six big bottles for only 90 cents, says Marie. Hows that for taking a punch at rising food prices! Marie and other readers exwhose money-savin- g in this column periences appear receive a free copy of my refunding couponing and magazine, The National Supermarket Shopper.
