Grocery Shopping & Menu Planning
Plan a menu, build a shopping list, navigate a real grocery store, and bring it all home within budget.
What this looks like
Menu planning and grocery shopping go hand-in-hand with cooking. You learn to read your fridge and pantry, plan meals that work for your week and your budget, write a shopping list, and shop a real store — checking expiration dates, reading labels, comparing prices, and using a self-checkout when you choose to.
How we teach it
- Plan menus around what you actually like and what your budget allows
- Practice in your local store, with your real shopping list
- Read product labels for ingredients, allergens, and nutrition information
- Compare unit prices to make value-conscious choices
- Use Clipper, EBT, debit cards, or cash — whichever you use day to day
A real session
We start at home, looking at what's already in your kitchen. Together we plan three or four dinners, write a list, and head to the store. You push the cart and lead the trip; staff follow your pace. At checkout, you handle the transaction. Back home, you put groceries away in a way that helps you find them later.
