Grocery Store Project• For this assessment you will need to go to the grocery store (I

went to the King Soopers Centennial and Fillmore). You can also access the prices online through kingsoopers.com and their “Homeshop” option. Choose the “Try Homeshop” link. The following page has the items you will need to find the price for. Use the “regular” price. DO NOT use the sale price if there is one.

• For pages 3 and 4 the price of the chips are already given to you. Again this is for reference as the chips are related to the questions on page 5.

• In the end you will be turning in page 2 “Price page”, page 5 “Unit Rate of Chips Questions”, page 7 “Cereal Comparison”, page 8 “Savings Over Time” and page 9 “Water Comparison”.

• These 5 pages are due: Friday, December 20, 2013

Price of 24 pack of King Soopers water_______

A gallon of water cost $0.008 per gallon out of the kitchen tap. That is less than one cent per gallon. How much more per gallon does it cost to buy the bottled Aquafina water?

The average person drinks 225 gallons of water a year. How much more would you spend a year if you only drank Aquafina bottled water? Is the extra cost for bottle water worth it, and WHY?
