Here is another reader shopping trip that I just LOVE! Jennifer is a 7th and 8th grade teacher and is currently teaching her students the basics of couponing at the grocery store! Here’s what she had to say:
We live near a Shop Rite, so I mainly use weekly prices from there to give them real-time scenarios that they can use. We are working on a 3-week project that will culminate in the students purchasing items for less than $2, then donating them to a local charity of their choice (not yet determined). In an effort to motivate them, I did a mini shopping trip of my own and spent $0! My classes are competing for two individual prizes: highest percentage savings and most items purchased for under $2. Hopefully they will stay motivated and we will be able to give away a lot!
How awesome is that! Way to coupon for a cause, Jennifer, and also teach your students valuable money saving habits!
