Here is a list of the foods I would
like to have at my party. Can you help
me work out how much the items on
the list will cost at different
supermarkets so that I can get the best value for my money?
| Item | Unit of
measurement | Best buy
Brand name | Best Price |
| Packet salted peanuts | 500 g | | |
| Packet of corn chips | 400 g | | |
| Salsa | 300 g | | |
| Packet of crisps | 200 g | | |
| Dips | 250 g | | |
| Slab of Chocolate | 250 g | | |
| Lollies/sweet packs | 200 g | | |
| Soft drink | 1.5 litre | | |
| Ice cream (Hokey Pokey) | 2 litre | | |
| Sausage Roll | 1 kg | | |
| Frozen Pizza | 500 g | | |

Once you have completed finding out the price of the goods, calculate which
shop offers one the best value for money. Present your tasks on a wall
chart. The wall chart is to have: a suitable heading explaining what the
purpose or aim of your task is, a table such as the one shown below showing
the items compared and the prices of the goods at different supermarkets and
a conclusion about your investigation. (What was the outcome of the study?
Which shop offered the best value for money, etc?). (Your conclusion may
start like this: Supermarket ___ offers consumers best value for money
because ...)
| Item | Unit of
measurement | Name of shop A | Name of Shop B | Name of shop C | Name of shop D |
| Jelly | 80 g | 85 c | 92 c | $1.04 | 99 c |
