# Event Details - **Event Name**: Stretch Your Dollar, Fill Your Plate - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 28 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Sun, 28 Jun, 2026 at 05:15 pm - **Event Description**: An interactive workshop on smart grocery shopping when food prices are skyrocketingAbout this EventJoin Julia Rudnicki, a food science and nutrition educator, for an interactive workshop on smart grocery shopping and thoughtful meal planning as food prices skyrocket.Why It MattersFood prices continue to rise, while household budgets do not. We bring home fewer groceries for the same money. And healthy eating may feel out of reach for many families, especially now. However, strategic grocery shopping combined with thoughtful meal planning significantly reduces costs without sacrificing food quality or your family's health.The RealityMany families are not overspending because they lack budgeting skills. They are navigating rising food prices, busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and competing financial priorities. Convenience foods often appear to save time, but they can significantly increase grocery costs over the course of a month. At the same time, food waste remains one of the largest hidden expenses in many households.What We Will DiscussWe will discuss practical, sustainable strategies to help families stretch their grocery dollars and put more food in their grocery carts.What Surprises ManyMany packaged "healthy foods," trendy convenience foods, and even some functional foods are not the most budget-friendly options and are often perceived as healthier than they actually are.Bottom LineSaving money on groceries does not require extreme dieting, complicated meal plans, or giving up healthy eating. Small, intentional changes in shopping and meal preparation habits can lead to sustainable savings while supporting your health and well-being. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/fox-river-grove/stretch-your-dollar-fill-your-plate/100001991207681778 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, health-wellness, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes - Location: Cary-Grove Adventist Fellowship - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Fox River Grove - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Cary-Grove Adventist Fellowship - **lat**: 42.1979682 - **long**: -88.2206181 - **full address**: Cary-Grove Adventist Fellowship, 400 Lincoln Avenue, Fox River Grove, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Stretch Your Dollar, Fill Your Plate - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/9767bd7f51b2c04eba7dfcaeeba7ed7ff7ea6245fe4e50430f716eb7c24d8789-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd8d8dc-gmir.jpg?v=1780961853 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Stretch Your Dollar, Fill Your Plate being held? - **A:** Stretch Your Dollar, Fill Your Plate takes place on Sun, 28 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Sun, 28 Jun, 2026 at 05:15 pm at Cary-Grove Adventist Fellowship, 400 Lincoln Avenue, Fox River Grove, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Stretch Your Dollar, Fill Your Plate? - **A:** Stretch Your Dollar, Fill Your Plate is organized by Salient Lifestyle Center. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
