Ruben the pig! But you can call him Mang Ruben.​ He's just 9 years old and today, his parents finally let him go shopping with a friend... You!

You're finally here, welcome! This is...​

But there's one thing... his parents only gave him ₱300 as a budget to buy what he needs.

Looks like he is excited!​

Although... Mang Ruben is quite careless when it comes to deciding what to buy and knowing the difference between wants and needs. So his parents are asking for your help! You need to help him create good decisions in what he should buy so he would know what to do in the near future and be a smarter shopper!

Are you ready? Let's go!!

(You two head to the mall and go to the supermarket first to buy food he will have for later dinner...)

Multiple Choice

Mang Ruben's parents want him to eat something healthy. Quickly, select the product that is healthy and beneficial for the body!

• Carrots

• Chocolate

• French Fries

• Burger

Multiple Choice

Oh phew, he agrees to buy the carrots... But it looks like he wants you to choose a product for him to eat later on. Select the healthiest choice among all given.

• Donut

• Apple

• Potato chips

• Fried chicken?!

Multiple Choice

Alright, good thing those healthy products are cheaper than the unhealthy ones. Let's let him decide what beverage he wants. He choose cola, but it's a peso cheaper than water (in this supermarket apparently...) Should you guys choose cola or water?

• Cola, because it's cheaper.

• Water, because it's healthier than cola even if it's a peso more than the cola.

Multiple Choice

Next, he needs help on seeing which product has better quality than the other. (Both choices have the same price and brand)

Multiple Choice

Which product has better quality than the other? (Both choices have the same price and brand)

Multiple Choice

Last but not the least, which product has better quality than the other? (Both choices have the same price and brand)

Ok, It's a good thing he understands. You guys have ₱211 left. (Both the carrot and apple was for ₱20, the water was for ₱9, the potato and lettuce was for ₱12, while the corn was for ₱16)

​

I wonder how are those products that are rotten still there... Anyways....​

At the school supply aisle...

Multiple Choice

First, Mang Ruben needs a pen. He found two pens: one that costs ₱13, and one that costs ₱17. He says the second one is more popular in his school because of the recent trends. What choice would be the best for him?

• The first pen, it may be not so 'trendy' but it works well and is cheaper than the other one.

• The second pen, to join in the trends but it's a little hard to use. There are other pens that are more expensive than this one so it doesn't matter.

Multiple Choice

Glad he agrees too. It looks like he's a smart shopper! He wants you to pick which one is cheaper because the price tags are too small to read. Let's do these things quicker so you guys can eat now. Ready? Quickly, which pencil is the cheapest?
