Why it matters
Shopping with a budget is real money practice: they learn prices, choices and trade-offs. It also makes them more aware of what food costs.
Steps for kids
- Agree on the budget and what to buy.
- Write the list and check what is already at home.
- Compare prices in the store or online.
- Pay and keep the receipt.
- Put the shopping away and check the total.
