DANVILLE, Ill – Feeling overwhelmed by grocery bills and clutter? This double feature talk tackles both! Illinois Extension’s Family Life and Nutrition and Wellness Teams are bringing an exciting double feature to Immanuel Lutheran Residences, 1415 Eastview Ave. Danville, IL 61832 at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, April 24.

First up at 9 a.m., “Shopping on a Budget: Getting the Best Nutritional Bang for Your Buck,” with Nutrition and Wellness Educator Rachel Mannen, will show you how to eat healthy without breaking the bank. Attendees will learn valuable skills like menu planning, smart grocery shopping strategies, and creative ways to incorporate affordable, healthy ingredients into their meals. “Many people struggle to find affordable, healthy meal options,” says Mannen. “This program will provide practical tips and strategies to help families stretch their grocery budgets while maintaining a nutritious diet.”
