How much does food really cost?
How does the money in my pocket relate to what I am going to eat this week?
This is class hits students with a relationship they can really understand. This two hour class goes over the steps needed to create a meal. Students will plan a budget, look at grocery store ads, write a list, and make a menu plan that provides nutritionally complete meals each day.
Students compete in teams and the team that wins is the one that stays under budget and will have enough money to go out to eat at the end of the week.
This class uses calculators, basic math skills, and team building.
