Use Cash and Spend Less!

  • Swap the traditional ingredients for something healthier.
Instead of:                              Swap It:
White Bread                           Whole Wheat Bread
Peanut Butter                         Natural Peanut Butter (the ingredients should read 'peanuts' ONLY)
Jelly                                        Smuckers Simply Fruit
