Fresh, Crisp Look and New Features for Spend Smart. Eat Smart. Website
Posted 25 August 2010
Families interested in eating healthy on a budget now have an easy-to-use resource at their finger tips. The Spend Smart. Eat Smart. website re-launched with a fresh, crisp look and new features to better serve site visitors.

“User feedback told us that the old website was a great resource, but that it was hard to find information, and some of that information was not easy to use,” said Peggy Martin, Iowa State University Extension nutrition specialist. “The changes to the website and new features directly address these issues, providing a better experience overall.”

The most recognizable change to the Spend Smart. Eat Smart. website is the updated look. Visitors will find a new visual identity to the site, with content arranged so the site can be navigated easier than before. Visitors will be able to better find the information they are looking for, whether its tips, recipes or other features.

"3 Easy Steps to Healthy Meals" is the new tagline that encompasses the three main areas that the site is now divided into: Plan, Shop and Eat.

Plan: This section of the website helps families save money on groceries, by providing tips on how to plan ahead to reduce food expenses.

Shop: Finding nutritious items at the store, as well as money-savings tips to use while shopping, is the focus of this section.

Eat: Recipes and tips for saving at home are included here, along with tips to use when eating out.

In addition to the information easily accessible in each of the main areas, the new website also features online lessons to help families learn more about specific subjects. For example, a 15-minute online presentation, “Label Reading for Health,” teaches viewers about all the information available on a nutrition label, and how to read that information and use it in their planning.

Visitors can start providing feedback with the new site as well, by rating recipes, leaving comments, answering polls and asking questions of the ISU Extension experts in charge of the content.

“The Spend Smart. Eat Smart. team is very focused on our customers’ needs,” Martin said. “The many opportunities across the new website for comments and feedback will help us make the content even more useful and relevant to our visitors.”

The Spend Smart. Eat Smart. website can be accessed at www.extension.iastate.edu/foodsavings. Other ways to engage with Spend Smart. Eat Smart. experts include visiting the website’s blog, which is updated weekly, and Facebook page, or by following updates on Twitter.

The Goal of Dubuque 24/7 is to provide the most up to date information possible!
