PMB STEP 6: Grocery Day

OVERVIEW
Students should learn the basics about finding their first job based on the college or training they chose. Make sure that they understand that their first job may be in the field they chose, but not necessarily the position they see themselves in to start off with. That will lead to them choosing a place to live and then understanding the community they are a part of. Students will continue to work on their Personal Monthly Budget Project by creating a map of their new neighborhood and locating businesses, organizations, and stores with basic needs and other necessities that will make their new home more comfortable.  Today students will create a basic food menu for the week and use time in class to shop online for the items they chose.

OBJECTIVE(S) / (SWBAT)
Participate in-class discussions about different places that might be needed in your new neighborhood.

PROJECT

To plan a weekly meal menu and shop for items on the list. To identify prices and differences in the quality of different items. To be able to accurately create a personal menu, shopping list, and translate your purchases into an online budget form for evaluation.

STEP BY STEP
1. Complete Weekly Menu Form - Get it Approved Prior to Creating Grocery List
2. Complete Grocery List Based on Menu Choices - Get it Approved Prior to Shopping
3. Shop online for items on Grocery List and compare quality and prices.
4. Total your Grocery Spending and Enter All Items on Shopping List in Budget Online (PMB)
5. Share your menu and list with the class during final presentations.

Please use the handout to plan your menu for a week. I would like you to plan at least 2 dinners for 2 people and a family dinner (6 people or more) for the weekend sometime. It can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but include anything you would normally serve. Once your menu is complete, make a grocery list. In addition to groceries, there is a list of other items (BELOW) that you will need to keep at your new apartment. Detergent, soap, etc. You may also include any items you might actually use regularly on your shopping list.

Additional Items to Buy: Laundry Detergent, Soap, Shampoo, Deodorant, a Mop, a Broom, All-Purpose Cleaner, Light Bulbs, Dish Soap, 3 2-Liter Bottles of Soda (ie. Coca Cola, Pepsi, etc.), Band-Aids, Cold Medicine, and a Bucket, Tylenol or Advil, Batteries and a Flashlight, a Basic Tool Set, a Wiffle Ball Bat Set, and M&M's.

Finally, go to the website below and price everything you will need. You may need to make substitutions, but you will get a good general idea of prices for your weekly shopping trip. You will enter these figures on your monthly budget (remember that this sheet and shopping list is only for one week) when you are finished as actual costs.

Here are a couple of places to shop. You may also look for other online grocery stores, pharmacies or other providers. They must list individual item pricing and you need to figure out delivery if you do not have one of the stores local to your new apartment. (Example: You can price things at Target.com, but you must figure out shipping costs if you do not have a Target store locally. You must also figure out how to get your purchases home if you do not have a car.)

Digital MAP Project

NOTE: Until Tech Freire allows students to use Google Maps (My Maps) Application, please just create a list of the locations below on your PMB Google Document Worksheet for Step 5!  You may also create an account on Microsoft and use BING MAPS to create a map.

Today you will be creating a GOOGLE MAP of your new home and work area. Please sign in to GMAIL and then follow Google site to Google Maps. Below is a link to a sample map that I created for myself. It assumes that my first job out of college was teaching here. I located our school, a local apartment, and I saved the route I take to work (use Get Directions and save the result to your map). I also included most of the information that you will have to find for yourself. 

See my example BING MAP at the following link:  https://www.bing.com/maps?&cp=39.978385~-75.161032&lvl=15&osid=e9c799c2-052e-4b92-9a3e-73ccae890b94&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027

Once you have looked at my map, your assignment today is to CREATE your own Digital  Map that includes the following items:

WORK LOCATION

HOME (APARTMENT) LOCATION

ROUTE YOU TAKE TO WORK

You must also include the following:
GROCERY
SHOPPING MALL/CENTER
LAUNDRY/DRY CLEANER
COFFEE SHOP
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (Closest Bus or Train)
CLOSEST MAJOR AIRPORT (In case you need to fly home to Philly)
HOSPITAL
DOCTOR'S OFFICE
DENTIST'S OFFICE
CHURCH/PLACE OF WORSHIP (Optional)
THREE (3) DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS
TWO (2) FUN THINGS TO DO

Please add these items to your PMB 

This exercise will give you an idea of what types of things you need to look for if you move to another city someday to take a job or start college. Even if you share an apartment/house with others, you should know this information.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S)
What are some of the places in my new neighborhood that I will go to often?

What services or stores are most important, and which ones would be considered luxeries?

What items do I need to buy to survive, and what is not necessary. Based on the selection of my apartment, where can I go to buy these items, and how much will they cost.

MOVING TO YOUR NEW CITY

At your graduation party, your friends and family got together and gave you $2000 in cash as a gift to get you started.  Add these funds to your Personal Monthly Budget, and use it to go shopping for some basic items you will need to survive.  You must have a plan to move to your new city, and once there, figure out how you will get to work, get around town, and do your shopping.  Tomorrow we will be creating maps of the area using digital tools, today you need to focus on shopping for the basic items you will need to start your life in this new area.

List each item on the shopping list sheet of your SPREADSHEET. You must keep track of everywhere online you shop and enter your spending in your checkbook ledger.  Add links to each product you plan to buy, total the cost of your purchases and add it to your overall budget. All of your spending will be tracked on this ledger for the month. Credits are deposits and Debits are spending/checks etc.
