Here's what participants say about the nutrition education program:

I have prepared a snack cabinet and a refrigerator drawer for healthy items.
The program saved me $25 on one trip to the grocery store because I used the store flyer and didn't give into impulse buying.
I also made a shopping list and stuck to it for the first time.
I now take the time to use coupons and compare the cost-per-unit label which has saved me between $5 and $10 dollars a week.
I didn't realize homemade food was cheaper than prepared food.
I didn't know all the facts about bacteria and how they spread. It makes me more aware about washing my hands and surfaces that have contact with raw foods.
