HOW TO SHOP
In buying foods rationed under
the point system, you must, In
effect, learn how to buy with two
kinds of currency = money and
point-stamps.
You must know the money
price and the point value Of the
commodity.
You must give the storekeeper
dollars and cents and point
stamps.
Just as you now budget the
money you can spend during each
pay period. you must learn to
budget your points so that they
will last for the entire ration
period.
In our example. you must plan
your spending" of your As points
for cereals, so that your points
will last you for the entire month.
When your blue A, B and {
stamps are gone. you will not be
able to buy any Of these items
for the rest of the month-no
matter how much you are willing
to pay in money. You win again
be able to buy these items In the
following month, when the blue
d. Z and + stamps become valid.
You cannot borrow more
points the way you can Dor
row money. II you use up
most Of your 4S-point allow
ance on . few items with q
high-point value. you will have
20 get along on less for the
rest of the ration period.
You must ask yourself not only
whether you can afford the dol
lars-snd-cents price Of rationed
commodities. but also. whether you
can afford to spend" your points
in that particular way.
