You are "the manager" of your pocket money!

Many parents give their children pocket money so that they learn how to buy & shop & pay themselves.
Youngsters can
... learn how use the money to get things they want
... get used to handling money and finding out what things cost
... learn how to count and calculate, to check their change
... become responsible for keeping their money in a safe place, for looking after money
... learn to save up for more expensive things
... learn not to spend everything at once but also to save part of their pocket money
... learn what is good value for money
... learn to compare prices carefully and shop around for the "best price":

A little bargaining here and there, looking for special offers, waiting for the season sales, selling and bidding at eBay...

...this is SMART SHOPPING: you get MORE for your pocket money!

Task: How do YOU shop clever & smart?

  2. Sometimes you can bargain( you say it is too expensive for you, you want to get it cheaper at a lower price)

  4. At Müller in Wiener Neustadt there is sometimes a special offer. When you buy 3 DVDs you had to pay only one. Thats cool.
