Planning

Listen to the Entire Lesson

Some of the important decisions in the planning process are where to go, when would be a good time to go, and who is going to go.

"Should we go to Costco for some of the bigger items we need?"
"Should we go at a certain time so it's not so crowded?"
"Should we go to the fresh market or to our regular supermarket?"
"Should we both go and take the kids or one of us stay home with them?"
"Should we take our own grocery bags?"

If you are asked any of these questions, here are ways that you could respond.

"Let's go to Costco some other day, it will take too long."
"Sure, I think we can find most of what we need there."

"I like to go to the grocery at night. There always seems to be less people."
"I prefer to go in the morning so I can get it over with."

"I think we should go to both. We can get the vegetables and fruits we need at the fresh market."
"Let's just go to the regular grocery. We do not have time for both."

"If we go to Fred Meyer the kids can go into the kids play area. That way we can shop without any distractions."
"It might be too much to take the whole family. I can just go if you do not mind staying home with the kids?"

"I think we should take our own recyclable bags. It's good for the earth!"
"We can just use what they have there."
