Unit 3: You Are What You Eat: Healthy Meal Planning
Question 11 • Nutrition and Wellness (IS)
Ansh must make out a weekly menu for his family, but his budget is limited. Ansh wants to have steak one night but sees that the price at his local grocery store is $15.99 per pound. Without changing his menu, how might Ansh BEST squeeze steak into his budget?
Answer
A
Check out other stores nearby to see if they have the steak on sale.
B
Buy a portion small enough for himself and a cheaper cut for everyone else.
C
Cut out something else from the menu, like asparagus that no one likes anyway.
D
Go ahead and splurge on the steak but plan to cut back on next week’s groceries.
Explanation
Ansh can keep steak on the menu and stay within his budget by comparing prices at nearby stores. A sale may let him buy the steak for less than $15.99 per pound without changing the menu. Buying different cuts for different people changes the meal, while cutting another menu item or borrowing from next week’s grocery budget does not find a better price.
