Class budget: $80.00. Station budget: $20.00 each. All prices marked .


Page 1. The four rules of a real list, and the eight store sections

The four rules

  1. One line per item. If two stations need mozzarella, it is one line with the quantities added, not two lines.
  2. A total quantity. How many packages, all stations combined.
  3. A size. Ounces, pounds, or count. A list that says "cheese" is not a list.
  4. A swap. What we buy if the first choice is out of stock or costs more than the circular said.

The eight store sections, in the order you shop them

#SectionWhat is in itPicture
1ProduceCarrots, tomatoes, lettuce, fruit, anything fresh and uncuta carrot
2BakeryItalian bread, rolls, tortillas if they are in the bakerya loaf
3Center aislesPasta, sauce, canned beans, rice, baking, cookies, chips, crackers, oatsa box
4Paper and foilPlates, cups, forks, napkins, foil, zip-lock bagsa plate
5DeliSliced turkey, ham, rotisserie chicken, cheese by the pounda scale
6MeatAnything raw (we do not buy this; our rule is pre-cooked meat only)crossed out
7Dairy and eggsShredded cheese, butter, sour cream, milk, whipped topping, eggsa cold case
8FrozenCooked meatballs, anything frozena snowflake

Why the order matters: cold things go in the cart last so they stay cold. That is the cold chain, and a store is laid out to make it easy.


Page 2. The Consolidated Class Shopping List

Build this as a class. One line per item. Write the station numbers that need it in the "from" column, and initial your own rows.

Page 3. The Unit Price Check and the Swap Column

Your two assigned rows

Row # ______ and Row # ______

For each row, do both

Row # ______Row # ______
Item on the list
Brand, size, price$
Price per ounce (or per count)$$
A second option in the circular: brand, size, price$
Its price per ounce$$
Which is cheaper per ounce?
Would the cheaper one still cover our quantity and clear the allergy list?YES / NOYES / NO
The swap, if we make it
What it saves on the whole order$$

The swap rule: a swap only goes on the list if it saves at least $0.25 and does not break the allergy list or any station card.

Class savings

Every pair reports. The teacher writes each saving on the board and subtracts.

Total savings found by the class: $__________ New class total: $__________

Page 4. The Teacher Approval Checklist

The teacher reads this out loud with the class and checks every line. Every line has to pass. No signature, no shopping, no cook day.

#CheckPass
1Every item appears on exactly one line, with a total quantity that covers all four stations
2Every line has a size (ounces, pounds, count) and a price from this week's circular
3The list is sorted by store section, cold items last
4The class total is at or under $80.00, and every station's share is at or under $20.00
5Every line has a swap named, or the words "no cheaper option found"
6The yield check from Lesson 6.13 clears 30 portions for every station
7Nothing on the list appears on the posted class allergy list, or the substitution is written in the swap column and on the station card
8Nothing on the list requires a knife, a fryer, or raw meat
9Paper goods are counted: 30 plates, 30 forks, 30 cups, 30 napkins, or the room already has them and they are marked "room"
10Every item on all four station cards appears somewhere on this list (read the cards against the list, not from memory)
11Nothing needs to be bought that the room already owns (foil, spray, salt, garlic powder, spoons)
12Signature and date, and the sheet goes in the folder

APPROVED. Teacher signature: ______________________ Date: __________

What happens next, said out loud: I shop from this exact list. I bring the receipt. In Lesson 6.17 you compare what you planned to what the register actually said.
