Small grocerystores that mainly sell fruits and vegetables are known as greengrocers, and small grocerystores that predominantly sell snack foods and sandwiches are known as convenience stores or delicatessens.
However, 'Metro' stores have been appearing in town and city centres in many countries, leading to the decline of independent smaller stores, and large out-of-town supermarkets and hypermarkets, such as Tesco in the United Kingdom, have been steadily sapping the trade from smaller stores.
When a small grocerystore is in competition with large supermarkets, the grocerystore often creates its own niche market by selling unique, premium quality, or traditional foods that cannot be easily found in a supermarket.
The students will be able to calculate the amount of money needed for groceries using multiplication, addition, and subtraction.
Before the unit begins, the class should research the prices of certain food items at the grocerystores.
Once the students have determined what they need to buy at the store, according to their scenario, they must calculate the total cost for their purchases after using the coupons and record their calculations in their money journal.
