Student Stories: Budgeting Groceries

Students enrolled in the Personal Finance course participated in their Community Activity at a local Safeway. The activity gave students the experience of working with a grocery list and staying within a budget. Students prioritized their lists by identifying items on list as either wants or needs and making choices of what to buy and what to save for another day.

After the Community Activity students compared and tracked results on the classroom white board.
