Build practical grocery shopping, grocery store math, consumer math, and functional math skills with this FREE real-world shopping activity!

Students use a Weekend Breakfast shopping list and current online retailer websites to find the items they need, compare brands, sizes, and prices, record product information, and calculate the total cost of their selections using a calculator.

This free grocery shopping activity gives students meaningful practice using a grocery list, comparing prices, making purchasing decisions, calculating totals, and working with current shopping information through a realistic everyday situation.

Unlike activities that use fixed worksheet prices, students work with current products and prices from real shopping websites. This gives students practical experience with grocery store math, financial literacy, money management, daily living skills, and independent living skills.

Designed for functional academics and real-world learning, this activity fits naturally into consumer math curriculum, functional math curriculum, life skills curriculum, transition instruction, and Adulting Made Easy activities.

How It Works

Students use the Weekend Breakfast grocery list to locate the products they need online.

For each item, students may:

- Find an Appropriate Product
- Record the Brand
- Record the Size
- Record the Price
- Compare Available Choices
- Compare Prices
- Calculate the Total Cost of Their Shopping Trip

Teachers may use Walmart, Target, Meijer, Instacart, Amazon, or another retailer of their choice.

Because products and prices change, students gain experience working with the kinds of grocery shopping and shopping math information they may encounter outside the classroom.

Instead of completing an activity with predetermined prices, students must locate current products, evaluate available choices, and use the information they find to calculate their shopping total.

---

Why Practice Grocery Store Math?

Grocery shopping connects several practical academic and daily living skills in one real-world activity.

Students must read a grocery list, locate the products they need, compare available choices, record important information, and calculate the total cost.

This gives students meaningful practice with grocery store math, shopping math, consumer math, functional math, comparing prices, financial literacy, and money management in a realistic context.

Working with current products and prices provides practical application for consumer math curriculum, functional math curriculum, life skills curriculum, daily living skills, and independent living skills.
