The guide includes many tips on how to get the best food with the highest nutrition quality at low costs. There are helpful hints for healthy substitutions that offer great taste and yet cost less. The group hopes that the guide will offer the kind of information that is needed by people on lowered or limited income so that they can remain healthy.
