Consumer Smarts
Teach Smart Spending
Through trial and error, your students will learn practical skills for making informed spending decisions.
Quality vs. Quantity
Helps students understand that at times it's necessary to spend more on something so long as it's well-made and will last longer than a cheaper alternative.
Price Comparisons
Consumer Smarts encourages students to debate the cost per unit of various products, teaching them how to shop more economically when necessary.
Product Research and Reviews
Shows students the importance of researching products before deciding which brand/product is worth buying—particularly when it comes to the more expensive purchases.
Social Media Influences
Influencers all over social media recommend products that are supposedly 'worth the money,' but are these reviews all that truthful? Consumer Smarts encourages students to step back and understand that not all influencers or social media ads, for that matter, have their backs when it comes to consumerism.
