Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: I found a wonderful way to keep track of all my sales receipts should I decide to return the article I purchased. I pin the receipt to the store’s hanging price tag or place the receipt in the box with the merchandise. It saves a lot of time and frustration when searching for the sales receipt.

After I know I’m keeping the merchandise, I file the sales receipt. - Lee Parker, Boca Raton, Fla.

Dear Heloise: For barbecued spare ribs and chicken, microwave until almost tender, then grill long enough for a charcoal flavor and a crisp exterior. - Mrs. E.M. Brown, Riverton, N. J. xxxx
