Check out your favorite store brand's items. Store-brand canned and frozen fruits and vegetables are often less expensive, and you can often find "no-salt added" or "lite" varieties for healthier options. #ShopSmart #WeAreEFNEP #EFNEP50th #EFNEPworks #NIFAimpacts

Looking for a quick snack that's budget-friendly? Try this home-made hummus recipe that goes great with veggies or whole wheat pita bread or tortillas. Substitute almond butter or peanut butter for the tahini if you can't find it. #ShopSmart #WeAreEFNEP foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-ga…

Happy #GalentinesDay! Whether you celebrate #GalentinesDay, #ValentinesDay, or both, you can save money if you eat out by sharing an appetizer, entree, or dessert. You can also pack half your entree in a to-go box before you eat and save for lunch the next day. #WeAreEFNEP

Happy Monday! This week's challenge is to use what you have on-hand to make a dish. Have you found canned pineapple in your pantry? This will also go great in a fruit parfait with low-fat yogurt and lightly sweetened cereal. #ShopSmart #WeAreEFNEP

Many pantry and refrigerator staples are low-cost and make quick dinners. Try a chili with canned kidney, black beans, and diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and fresh diced sweet potato and onion for a satisfying meal. #ShopSmart #WeAreEFNEP

Most grocery stores have the weekly circular out today. Look for sales on fresh produce and BOGO (buy one get one free). Then decide if you will use the items before they go bad, such as low-fat milk (stocking up may not save you money) #ShopSmart #WeAreEFNEP

February #ShopSmart month continues! Plan ahead to save money by making out a shopping list AND stick to it. Don't let items on the ends of aisles or at the cash register break your budget. #WeAreEFNEP
