This learning resource invites students to engage in a simulated budgeting experience, where they must manage a $500 weekly budget. The activity involves selecting items from a grocery store menu, distinguishing between needs and wants, and recording expenses. Students are required to create a shopping list, calculate totals, and reflect on their financial choices. They will also complete a budget ledger to categorize their selected items and gain insights into making smart financial decisions. The resource promotes critical thinking and practical budgeting skills.
