Step Two - Food:
- Use an online grocery site to price
the items on your list.
- In some cases, these grocery stores
offer a "shop for you" service. Though you may have to pretend
that you are going to use this service in order to get the prices,
do NOT sign in, or register your name!!! Lowe's Foods (link below)
will allow you to "shop" without signing in.
- While you shop:
- Look carefully
at both the total price of an item, and the unit price that
is also given, as in price per ounce. Be sure to purchase the
items
of the best value.
- Please keep track of your purchases.
You're going to later design a spreadsheet. You will need to
keep an itemized list of the brand, product, size of package,
and price. (So that you can print the information for you and
your computer buddy at the completion of the lesson, take your
notes on the computer. Open a blank document. Using the minimize
function of the computer you can
easily
switch
back
and forth between your Web site and your shopping
list/budget research file.)
- Now, it's time to go shopping! Lowes
Foods to Go. (Link will open in another window.)
