Comparing prices
Practise comparing prices so you always know if you are getting a fair deal.
In this lesson
Comparing prices is part of Spending Wisely. This preview shows how money-basics connects to everyday family decisions such as earning, saving, spending choices, goals, approvals, or parent-guided money conversations inside Progress Penguin.
Think about this money choice
Imagine this situation: Shop A sells a notebook for 500 in local currency. Shop B sells the same notebook for 350 in local currency.
How it works
Comparing prices means you never overpay for the same thing. Small savings add up over time.
Try a real-life example
Real-life money moment: You compare three shops: Konga (1200 in local currency), a local store (900 in local currency), and a market stall (700 in local currency) for the same pen. The stall has no receipt.
