Finding the Price Tag

In this lesson
Finding the Price Tag is part of Reading Everyday Prices. This preview shows how prices-choices connects to everyday family decisions such as earning, saving, spending choices, goals, approvals, or parent-guided money conversations inside Progress Penguin.

Emeka sees two bags of crisps on the shelf. One has a price tag. The other doesn't.
How it works
A price tag tells you exactly how much an item costs before you commit to buying it. Without knowing the price, you cannot decide whether you can afford it or whether it is good value.
Try a real-life example
Real-life money moment: Emeka picks up a pen he likes and takes it to the counter. The shopkeeper says it costs 350 in local currency. Emeka only has 200 in local currency. He is embarrassed. — Checking the price tag before going to the counter avoids this situation entirely.
