Like the best-selling print version of the Grocery Store Game, this software program, by PCI's Janie Haugen-McLane, gives students 'hands-on' experience in using shopping lists and getting the 'best buy' at a grocery store. This fun, interactive software version covers 34 additional foods for a total of 70 items in the Produce, Meat, Grain, Baked Goods, Canned Food, Dairy, Condiments, Snack, Drink, and Frozen Food departments.
HOW THE GAME WORKS
The player is shown a virtual shopping list with three foods from one of the ten grocery store departments listed above. The player:
clicks on the green button to get a 1, 2, or 3. chooses to move forward or backward. lands on a particular food. hears, 'Do you need to buy this food?' looks at shopping list and selects 'yes' or 'no.'
If the player selects 'yes,' the Price Check Screen appears, the player clicks on the green button again, and the number that the player receives (1, 2, or 3) determines the price of the food:
1. Everyday Low Price
2. Sale Price
3. Coupon Price
The food item moves into the player's shopping cart and the dollar amount appears to the right of the food item on the shopping list. The player repeats the steps until all three foods have prices. After the player adds the three prices, a new shopping list appears with three foods from another department.
END OF GAME
Player adds the amounts spent in each department for a final total. CD can be purchased with PCI's Money Calc to assist students with addition.
