We had to create a week of meals, using the products found in the weekly grocery circulars with a set amount of money. That project taught me many things; a. you can get by on much less if you eat ramen noodles three times a day, b. you really don't want to eat ramen noodles three times a day and c. that if you plan and keep your eyes open, you can make your money go farther. Very good lesson. I wish we had done some projects on getting married, trusting the opposite sex, not trusting salespeople and many other pitfalls I've fallen into since then.
