Healthy Diet
Every change you make to improve your diet matters, and your Cooperative Extension Service suggests you don't have to be perfect and you don't have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet.
Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients.
Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious.

Coffee Break
Premium coffee drinks are popular but are they really worth the money? Your Cooperative Extension Service suggests substituting "regular" coffee for high-cost coffee drinks.
Saving $2 a day by buying coffee rather than a cappuccino or latte can, over a year, allow you to completely fund a $500 emergency fund.
