Activity 2 - Stepping Down Expenses

Your turn. Let's say you want to have a movie night with your family this weekend. It can be expensive if you go out to the movies. Using the activity below, fill in the blanks to step down the expense.

Step 1 (most expensive)

Step 2 (not quite as expensive)

Step 3 (less expensive)

Step 4 (least expensive)

Hopefully you found a way to enjoy your family movie night. You may have decided that the most expensive way was to go to the movies at night. Not quite as expensive was to attend a matinee. Less expensive was to rent a movie to watch at home. And least expensive was to find a movie playing for free on TV.

You may find that it is in your budget to do step 2 or 3. But now you know you have options when it is not.
