Dear Mary: I read your column in Woman's Day magazine about warehouse clubs. In it, you said pharmacies at warehouse clubs offer pre- scriptions at discounts and, by law, must be open to nonmembers, too. Does that mean I can drop off my prescrip- tion without a membership, or do I have to get the one-day pass and end up paying extra? -- Jim, email Dear Jim: Membership is not required by law for full access to Sam's Club and Costco pharma- cies. Tell the store employee that you are there to use the pharmacy. You will not be required to pay any nonmember surcharges or fees. You can pay for your medications at the pharmacy instead of going through the regular checkout lines, if you desire. For more information on Sam's Club and Costco pharma- cies, check out their websites. BJ's has closed its pharmacies. Dear Mary: My husband is 65, and we need to figure out his health care options. Right now, he is covered by my insurance at work, but it is very expensive. How do I determine the most cost-effec- tive supplemental plans? Does he have to call each provider? Is there a resource that will help us get the biggest bang for our buck? -- Mary, California Dear Mary: Go to www.Medicare.gov, a very comprehensive website that is quite easy to navigate and understand. You will learn what benefits he qualifies for now that he is 65. You'll learn what Part A cov- ers, what the premium is for that, why he needs a Part B policy (Medigap), what is available to him in your area, how much it costs, what it covers and so on. Dear Mary: Cascade dishwasher detergent isn't doing its job now that they have taken out the phosphates. A friend told me to add TSP (trisodium phosphate) to our dishwasher deter- gent to make it as good as the old Cascade. I'm wondering whether TSP is safe to use on dish- es. My friend uses one part dish- washer detergent to one part TSP. - - Mary Beth, email Dear Mary Beth: Responding to laws that went into effect in 17 states in 2010, the nation's deter- gent makers reformulated their products to reduce what had been the crucial ingredient, phosphates, to just a trace. That's when Procter & Gamble added a low-phosphate version to its Cascade product line- up. You must live in one of those 17 states. But good news! You can still get the original Cascade Dish- washer Powder online where it is sold as a commercial product. Among sites that sell the original Cascade, Amazon sells single boxes, double packs and cases of multiples. The prices are very reasonable -- all cheaper than Cas- cade sold in discount stores and warehouse clubs. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate I'm hesitant to recom- mend that you supplement with TSP, something I have not tried myself. TSP is formulated for industrial cleaning, not for dish- washers. While it might work, my fear is that it would chemically react and over time permanently etch my dishes and glassware. Do you have a question for Mary? Email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630.

Lassen Park brings visitors, boosts economy A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that 384, 570 visitors in 2010 spent $16,053,000 in Lassen Volcanic National Park and in communities near the park. That spending supported 207 jobs in the local area. "The people and the business owners in communi- ties near national parks have always known their eco- nomic value," park superintendent Darlene M. Koontz said. "Lassen Volcanic National Park is clean, green fuel for the engine that drives our local economy." Most of the spending/jobs are related to lodging, food, and beverage service (52 percent) followed by other retail (29 percent), entertainment/amusements (10 percent), gas and local transportation (7 percent) and groceries (2 percent). The figures are based on $12 billion of direct spend- ing by 281 million visitors in 394 national parks and nearby communities and are included in an annual, peer-reviewed, visitor spending analysis conducted by Dr. Daniel Stynes of Michigan State University for the National Park Service. Across the U.S, local visitor spending added a total of $31 billion to the national economy and supported more than 258,000 jobs, an increase of $689 million and 11,500 jobs over 2009.
