Pag« 4 NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Saturday, August31,1985 Regional Supermarket Shopper Dear Martin: I would like to send for a manufacturer's refund offer that asks for a weight label from a package of hamburger. I have checked the meat counters at my four local supermarkets, and the packages are all labeled "Ground Beef." Do you think the manufacturer would accept this in­ stead of the hamburger label? Anna Marie Eberts, Canton, Ohio Dear Anna Marie: Free hamburg­ er offers are fairly common and have been used to sell a lot of ketch­ up. The manufacturers who make these offers know that meat label­ ing varies from area to area. In some markets we find ground beef, in others ground chuck. Only a mi­ nority of the stores use the "ham­ burger" label. Don't worry. All of these labels are acceptable. Dear Martin: Two of my sons recently discovered coupons, and you would think they had found bur­ ied treasure! My sixth-grader, Phil­ lip, found a 50-cent coupon in the newspaper for Pringles potato chips, which happened to be on sale for 99 cents. He also found a 35-cent coupon for Orange Crush soda. The local grocery store always doubles coupons, so he came home with both items. He was very proud of himself for spending his allowance so wisely. My youngest son, Tony, age 4, has also caught on. His "find" was a 50- cent' coupon for Quaker granola bars, which were on sale for $1.25. He couldn't believe his luck in get­ ting a whole box of the granola bars for just 25 cents. Now, when the food-day newspa­ per arrives at our house, both of the boys wait until I am finished with it; then they go through it carefully, page by page. Of course, they are looking for the coupons, but they are also becoming real newspaper readers! Lyn Magdaleno, Alexandria, La. Dear Lyn: When my children were younger, I challenged them to correctly add up the value of the coupons in the newspaper. It was a good mathematical exercise for them, and their prize was the cou­ pon product of their choice. Dear Martin: I am a coupon clip­ per, and I have noticed that coupons say: "Cash Value 1/20 cent." Does Jhis mean I can cash in the coupons I can't use? Mae Siders, Holly, Mich. tB.%ragg*'*'••'••"r ib, Dear Mae: Some states require that a}l coupons have a cash value, and mat is why such a value ap­ pears on all coupons. The only pur­ pose for this "value" is a legal one. When you start figuring out how much postage it would take to send in 500 coupons to receive 25 cents back, you quickly realize that it isn't worth the effort.
