Food warehouses<br />
• These are ‘no-frills’ stores <strong>with</strong> an emphasis on lower<br />
prices. These ‘generic’ stores offer grocery items, but little<br />
service. Items are displayed in cartons, saving you money.<br />
• Bring your own bags or boxes, <strong>and</strong> be prepared to pack<br />
them yourself.<br />
• Although br<strong>and</strong> names are available, be prepared to find<br />
less variety than you are used to.<br />
Changing eating habits<br />
• Buy cheaper cuts of meat.<br />
• Prepare casseroles <strong>and</strong> occasional vegetarian entrees.<br />
• Buy fewer packaged items. Prepare your own macaroni &<br />
cheese, pot pies, soups, stews, etc. This can be done on<br />
weekends <strong>and</strong> frozen for weekday use.<br />
• Buy fruits <strong>and</strong> vegetable that are in season.<br />
Generic br<strong>and</strong>s<br />
• Compare price <strong>and</strong> quality <strong>with</strong> store br<strong>and</strong>s. You often<br />
have to look up or down on store shelves to find these<br />
br<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
Rain checks<br />
If the store runs out of an item<br />
that is on sale, the customer service<br />
counter can issue you a rain<br />
check which is a promise that the<br />
store will supply you the item later<br />
at sale price when it is in stock<br />
again even if the sale is over.<br />
