Mammoth Cave Area Extension Agents, with multiple community partners, developed a family-budgeting program called Add Up the Savings to further fiscal and physical health. In January 338 learned to save money and calories while eating out, with evaluations showing that 100% made better nutritional choices and saved money. In February and March, 94% of 344 gardeners had increased knowledge and 95% said they would use the information to raise a garden this season. In April 43 food shoppers had a 100% increase in knowledge about grocery-store savings. In May, over 100 people learned to prepare more meals at home and maintain freezer and pantry items to prepare simple, quick meals.
