Financial Literacy - Grocery Shopping

 As we work through our Financial Literacy Unit, students explore budgeting and grocery shopping. The price of groceries has shot up exponentially and many Canadians are having a hard time keeping up. In this activity, students work with their parents to create their own grocery list, and jot down how much they normally pay for each item. Using FLIPP, students search each food item and try to find the lowest selling price. At the end, students calculate the cost of their groceries with the original costs; and then their sale prices to compare how much they ultimately save. What can they do with the money they save?
