Learn how to cook smart and save money with the Library
March 31, 2021
Charlotte Mecklenburg Library invites you to come learn with us virtually on April 15, 2021 at 3:30 p.m. about different ways to eat healthy and affordably when cooking at home. Grocery shopping can be a big source of stress when healthy options are expensive, deals change all the time, and ingredients are used up just halfway through the week. During this event, part fof Money Smart Week 2021, Kristin Davis and Augusta Washington with the NC Cooperative Extension will be presenting with Catherine Morba from the Interfaith Food Shuttle to equip us with smart shopping skills, ways to identify whole grains, and to help us make smart choices at the grocery store.
During this hour and a half program, these presenters will host a virtual grocery store tour and use real-world settings to show us what we can do to be healthy at home. For those of us who struggle to choose between healthy and affordable, knowing the right places to look can make all the difference. After the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and find answers to cooking problems of all kinds.
