Mrs. Jana Clark recently took her AHS Food and Nutrition class to Wal-Mart for a real-life experience: to shop for their own groceries on a $15 budget.

The students planned a Halloween treat to prepare in class and completed a grocery list.

The students traveled to Wal-Mart to gather the ingredients and determine if those ingredients fell into their $15 budget.

The students had a great time and learned a lot.

Some realized that the generic brand items are the way to go while others did not mind spending 25 cents extra on the name brand items.
