At school a menu is planned. A shopping list is developed. Cost of items on the shopping list are estimated. Using the layout of the store, items are selected to fulfill the shopping list. When paying for the groceries, the change is counted.
Lunch is prepared by the student on return to school.
Lunch can be shared with other students or school staff. This activity can be used to offer an opportunity to order and purchase lunch in the community during the shopping trip and save the food that is purchased to prepare another meal. Students can 'run errands' during shopping trip for school staff. Lists of items needed can be collected from staff. Students can purchase items to hold a bake sale in school.
