If you stock up on foods that you eat regularly, you’ll soon find yourself "shopping" and meal-planning from supplies in your pantry and freezer versus lim- iting yourself to what’s on sale at the store any given week. Whenever a great sale comes around on an item that I consider a staple – chicken breasts, pasta sauces, frozen vegetables, side dishes – I ask myself the following questions: 1. Is this the lowest price I’m likely to see for the next twelve weeks on this product? Prices at the supermarket range high and low over the course of a cycle that lasts, on average, twelve weeks. Chicken breasts may range in price from $1.69/pound to $3.99/pound. As you start monitor- ing the price variation on products you buy, you’ll begin to notice when prices dip. Keep these bench- mark prices in mind and you’ll be able to spot a deal. In my area, $1.50 or less is a good price for 64-ounce bottles of 100 percent juice. If I see them for that price, regardless of brand, they are a "buy" for me. 2. How many coupons do I have for this item? Once I spot a price in the super- low range, I use all of the coupons I have for that product. With the juice, any coupons reduce the already low price even more. During a previous juice sale, I had two $1 coupons and four coupons for $1.50 off the pur- chase of two bottles; instead of buying 10 bot- tles, I bought 18. Why? Read on. 3. How much will I use before another good sale comes around or before the product expires? During the juice sale, the juice was $1.29 a bot- tle, an excellent price. We drink about 1 1/2 bottles each week. Anticipating that we’ll drink 18 bottles of juice during the next 12 weeks, I purchased not just what I had coupons for, but as many as we’d consume before this low price comes around again. I paid $15.22 for 18 bottles. That worked out to about 85 cents per bottle. By buying in quantity with coupons during this sale, I paid about 75 percent less than the high- cycle price of $3.50 per bottle. I’m reminded of a sale on boxed dinner kits, which include pasta or rice for making an Italian or Chi- nese restaurant-style meal. Ordi- narily, these kits are more expen- sive than making a similar meal from scratch. You pay for the con- venience of simply adding meat to complete the meal. But the kits were part of a Catalina sale where shoppers received $7 good for a future shopping trip in the form of a register receipt at checkout. After coupons, I paid $7.96 for four din- ner kits and got $7 back. It worked out to 24 cents per box! Jill Cataldo Coupon Queen This is a small price to pay for a convenient meal for busy evenings. And, there were many coupons available during the sale so it was possi- ble to repeat the pur- chase several times. The expiration date for the meal kits was eight months away. Assuming we’ll eat one of these dinners every other week, I bought 16 for $3.84. That’s less than one fast-food meal for one person! 4. Do I have enough room in the pantry or freezer? Extra freezer and shelf space come in handy when playing the price-cycle game. The more space you have, the more you can devote to stocking your own "store" with staples for meals.

Hospital to ban tobacco products Catholic Healthcare West North State, which includes St. Elizabeth Com- munity Hospital in Red Bluff, has taken a pledge to promote healthy living on the three campuses by implementing a tobacco- free policy. The policy will go into effect Jan. 1, 2011. This means that smoking and the use of any tobacco product will no longer be permitted on campus grounds, including CHW buildings, parking lots and walkways. The policy will apply to everyone, includ- ing patients, visitors, Med- ical Staff members, employees and volunteers. St. Elizabeth will be offering a smoking cessa- tion class which meets twice a week for an 8 week span, more information will be advertised as the class is scheduled and con- firmed. In addition, it is recommended that individ- uals consider the smoking cessation resources or alternatives such as nico- tine lozenges, gum or patches prior to Jan. 1, 2011. CHW North State looks forward to creating a health- ier environment for every- one.

Death • Red Bluff Police and Tehama County Sheriff’s logs show a report of a hunter gone missing sometime since Oct. 24.

Andrijich’s younger brother, George Andrijich, said his broth- er, who had been coming to the Paynes Creek area to deer hunt for years because he loved the peace and quiet, had been ill for several months with bone cancer.
