Consumer Smarts: Seeing Through Advertising

The student will identify common advertising techniques, tell wants from needs, and compare products using unit price and total cost to make an informed buying decision. · 40 min

Warm-up — say this

“Companies spend a lot of money to make you want things. Today you learn to see the tricks and make choices that are yours.”

Worked example

A 16 ounce cereal costs $4.00 and a 24 ounce box costs $5.40. Which has the lower unit price?

Answer: The 16 ounce box costs $0.25 per ounce; the 24 ounce box costs $0.225 per ounce. The larger box is cheaper per ounce.

A mistake students make

If an item is on sale, I am saving money.

How the book fixes it

Explain that you only save if you needed the item. If you spend $30 on something you would not have bought, you spent $30, not saved.

Note to the parent

When shopping, talk aloud about your own decisions: compare unit prices, use a list and walk away from impulse items. Let the student make a small purchase decision and live with the result.

That is one topic of many. The free questions above check a skill; this is the part that teaches it.
