RY FABRIC! Rubber, Rubbtf SECTION 2 • PAGE 8 • PLAIN DEALER-HERALU. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 23.1^85 Keep up with POPs before they get the best of you By Jtute Fuller Dear June-I'm having a proof-of-purchase (POP) problem. My back porch is now piled high with bags and boxes of POPs. I didn't min i at first because I was receh month from my just seem to save than I can handle. You see, I work full time. Is there some method to stay on top of proof filing so I don't wind up going off the deep end?-K.M., Rosement, m - ' wmmm c mini ai i ir eceiving $50 refunding, e more POl Coupon Clipper Dear K.M.-I suggest you try the "full box" system. I keep a carton in my kitchen and as soon as it is full of empty boxes, bottles and cans that need to have their proofs of purchase removed, I do it. It takes some self-discipline to put other things aside and attack that full box of POPs, but once you get in the habit, it works like a charm. Now, you have a choice of how to solve the problem about your back porch. It may be painful, but therapeutic, to throw out all those bags filled with POPs and start all over again. If you can't bring yourself to do it, set .aside a POP weekend. At 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning start dip­ ping, peeling, folding and filing, and don't stop until you're done. If you feel you can't do it alone, ask a refunding friend to help, with the promise of sharing the spoils. IS IT WORTH THE EFFORT to write to a manufacturer when there is a problem? This ex­ perience from Julie Teets of London, Ohio, provides a good answer: "June, I was "short fished!" I purchased a box of 10 Mrs. Paul's fish sticks and only found nine in the package. What should I do? I was a little an­ noyed and decided to write. Within days I received •ned h concerned letter a very from the Scotch $5 Refund Offer.

I learned that Mrs. Paul's does care about its customers, and this good company will continue to get my patronage." SMART SHOPPER AWARD My Smart Shopper Award goes to Dorothy VanDerkercheri of Shillington, Pa., whose savings start at breakfast: "I started breakfast with Citrus Hill orange juice that I purchased with a free-product coupon I received in the mail. I used the proof of purchase for a Citrus Hill $1 egg refund. Finally, I purchased a small- size jar of Folger's on sale, and with dluble coupons I got it free, too. In the end my orange, eggs and coffee cost just 49 cents and a postage stamp. Savings like these make me feel good." Dorothy and other readers whose smart shopping ex­ periences appear in my column receive a free copy of the book "The Guide to Coupons and Refunds." Write to me in care of this newspaper.
