Financial Literacy โ€ข Grade 5

Canadian Money โ€ข Smart Shopping Choices

Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Best Buy Decisions! Being a smart shopper means comparing prices, thinking about quality, checking for discounts, and making sure you really need or want the item. Ready to become a super shopper? Letโ€™s go! ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ” What Makes Something a Best Buy?

  • Compare prices at different stores
  • Look for sales and discounts
  • Think about quality โ€” will it last?
  • Decide if it's a Need or a Want
  • Calculate the real total (including tax)

๐Ÿ“Š Let's Compare Two Items

๐ŸŽพ Store A Ball

$12

Good quality

๐ŸŽพ Store B Ball

$18 (with 20% off = $14.40)

Better quality, lasts longer

Best buy? The $12 ball if you just need one for fun. The better one if you play every day!

๐ŸŽฏ Letโ€™s Practice Best Buy Decisions!

1. You need a notebook. Store A: $4. Store B: $5 with 25% off. Which is the better buy?

Store B: $3.75 โ€” better buy!

2. Two backpacks: $25 (good quality) or $18 (breaks easily). Which is smarter?

The $25 one โ€” better value because it lasts longer

3. You have $30. A game is $28 before 13% tax. Should you buy it today?

No โ€” total would be about $31.64. Wait for a sale or save more.
