Money 101 Interactive

* 2. In this scenario, you will need to visit your local grocery store and gas station to find prices of the items listed.

It is Friday evening and you just got paid. You made $10.50 an hour after deductions. You are planning to go to dinner and a movie with friends; but first, you need to get some groceries and fill your gas tank.

Your grocery list includes: 1 loaf of bread, 1 gallon of milk, 1 dozen eggs, a small container of butter, Pillsbury biscuits, Bob Evans sausage gravy, one pound of bacon, and a carton of strawberries or mixed fruit. You can change the brand or what types you prefer.

You drive a 2014 Mustang that has a 14 gallon tank and it is on empty. You need to fill it all the way up. The type of gasoline you choose is up to you.

Your dinner at Applebees cost $14 with the tip and Cinemark charged you $8 for your movie ticket.
