SECTION 2 - PAGE 10 - PLAIINDEALER-HERALD. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30,1985' Correct dates on register receipts important c^sus hikers to call inarea By Jane Fuller Dear June-Our local Safeway store's cash-register receipts do not show the correct date. In fact, the registers recently printed dates in 1980 and 1981! I spoke to the store manager apd he explained that the cash registers are old models that cant be set for later dates. Iam concerned because many of the recent manufacturer refund offers are asking for dated register tapes. I like to shop at this Safeway store, but I am at a loss to think of an answer. Can you help? -Carol G., Norton, Kan. Coupon Clipper Dear Carol-If a store is going to print a date on its cash- phis the register receipt, I believe it has an obligation to print the correct date. Until this store updates its One of the cereal companies has been offering free packages of cereal in return for two or three proofs of purchase, and I am way ahead because I have the box tops. Another interesting thing about cereal offers is that most of them have no limits. You can •end for as m^ny as you like. In fact, you can often send for several free items in the same envelope by just adding the additional bok tops.-Jacinthe Mathieu, Portland, Maine. Dear Jadnthe-Thankyou for the excellent tips. We also consume a lot of dry cereal in our house.
