The lesson plan aims to teach learners how to make better budgeted grocery shopping decisions using the three P's: Plan, Purchase, Prepare. Learners will fill out a worksheet on the three P's and discuss eating healthy on a budget, how many fruits and vegetables they should aim to eat based on age and activity level, and how to motivate themselves to make healthier food choices while still enjoying what they eat. The facilitator will introduce the topic and gather input from learners on their current shopping and eating habits to have a productive discussion around setting grocery budgets and meal plans.
