Members Stories Specials I found that trying to save a cent or two brought nothing but frustration. Take the other week for instance-in looking through the paper I saw at Shoprite I could save five cents on every pound of butter. At Foodtown there’s a biscuit special. At Woolworths it is the tea. At Four Square it’s baked beans that really interests me. So off I go to one place a couple of miles away. Then cross country to another, where three cents less I pay. When to the final place I go and with a trundler wrestle. I find that here I could pay LESS than the FIRST one had on special. At last I get home quite worn out with all this special hopping and try to add up the amount I’ve saved by careful shopping. And when the final count is made I find to my dismay That when I’ve for my petrol paid I’ve LOST more than I‘ve saved. Alice O'Callahan 1980
