For years products have been decreasing in size, but not in price! This is known as Shrinkflation and in this lesson, students will learn what the concept means as well as how to calculate the percentage change in product sizes and then how consumers can fight back. This is a great lesson for a consumerism class, a financial literacy class or even a foods class!
I’m a thrifting enthusiast! Always have been, always will be! To me, it’s the thrill of the hunt; finding the next treasure. Not everyone looks at thrifting the way I do and that’s okay. However, thrifting does seem to be in style now and it tells you something when the thrift store parking lots have more cars than the regular department stores do. So, why not see where your students stand with this Thrifting: Love it or Hate it? lesson.
