9 - 12 Grocery Cost Evaluation


Grocery Cost Evaluation

After you have completed the Grocery Cost form, both the estimates and the research finding the true costs of food, answer the questions below:

 1.      Was it difficult for you to guess the costs of food?  Why or why not?




2.       Were you able to estimate the total cost of food within $10 or less of the true cost?




3.       Was it difficult for you to choose brands and sizes of food?  Why or why not?




4.       Did you notice the cost per ounce and the cost per pound of the items
          
in the store?  Why would this information be useful?




5.       Do you ever do the grocery shopping for your family?  Do you compare prices?
