This leaves 10 cents a week which can.
not place on the meat, as a little deyla.
ton in the weight VIII often take that
amount, as it is impossible to lay an
exact weight for each piece of meat
bought.
If it is in excess, family can easily
put it to practical use and if needed 1t
is placed aside to be spent. I think this
is really getting full benefit out of the
money expended.
