Weekly Grocery Shopping | Maths Collabrative Challenge

In Math, we were given a collaborative group challenge to complete for the week. We were to imagine that we had a budget of $200 to spend on weekly shopping for our ‘family’. The amount of people in our family would be the same amount of people in the group. In this case there were 6 for Avalon, Fui, Te Pounamu, Nyjah, Joel, and myself. We had to choose a supermarket site to look for groceries online, and make sure we bought enough proper food fit for 6 people. We chose Pak n Save because we were all familiar with that market. We started off by creating our breakfast, lunch and dinner menu for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was also decided that every group could have one fast food or takeaway dinner. We chose Burger King which we spent $30 on by getting everyone a stunner meal. After that we started writing down the list of ingredients and items of what we needed to make each meal. With somethings we found it was easier to buy it pre-made like waffles, spring rolls, garlic bread, pizza and etc because if we didn't that would mean more ingredients to buy money and more money would be spent. As we went along writing the prices, we were adding them up. We decided to round the cents because otherwise it would be too hard and take longer to calculate. We were told to buy at least one bathroom or cleaning household item that we might need. For us it was bar of soap and a packet of sponges. Sometimes when we were trying to stay in budget, prices would go over too much and sometimes only by a little bit. After taking out some things we really didn't need, and getting good quality for good price we were sure we had it. As we finally totalled up the prices we found we could get maybe 2 or 3 more items but we decided not to. In the end our total price was $184!
