Grocery Shopping is a free printable worksheet with an answer key for students in Grades 9–12 receiving special education services. It builds practical grocery-shopping skills through 17 items: 10 multiple-choice questions, 5 multiple-select questions, 1 fill-in-the-blank item, and 1 open-ended response. Students identify steps to take before shopping, appropriate use of a basket or cart, grocery stores, and items found in departments such as Dairy, Meat, Produce, Canned Foods, Paper Goods, Deli/Bread, Refrigerator, Pet/Baby, and Cleaning.
The worksheet gives students repeated practice sorting familiar products into the correct store sections, recognizing whether a business is a grocery store, identifying an example of a grocery store that begins with a specified letter, and responding to the idea that grocery stores are not all the same. Its varied response formats help teachers check both recognition and the ability to select or produce an answer. Use it for functional-life-skills instruction, guided practice, independent work, or review.

FAQs
What does the Grocery Shopping worksheet cover, and how does it build grocery-shopping skills?
This worksheet uses 17 multiple-choice, multiple-select, fill-in-the-blank, and open-ended items to teach practical grocery-shopping knowledge. Students identify preparation and shopping steps, match products such as milk, broccoli, bread, and dish soap to the worksheet’s store departments, distinguish grocery stores from other retailers, and name a grocery store beginning with S.
How can I use this worksheet to teach grocery-store departments and shopping routines?
Introduce the worksheet by having students create a short shopping list and discuss why a basket or cart is useful. Then review department labels one at a time, sort sample items such as eggs, canned corn, toilet paper, and dog food into the sections named on the worksheet, and complete the multiple-select items together before assigning the store-identification and written-response questions independently.
What mistakes should I watch for when students complete the Grocery Shopping worksheet?
Watch for students selecting only one answer on multiple-select questions, especially when several items belong in a department such as Dairy, Canned Foods, or Pet/Baby. Students may also confuse similar categories, choose a non-grocery retailer for the grocery-store questions, overlook the word “NOT,” or give a store name that does not begin with S in the fill-in-the-blank item.
How do I assign and grade the Grocery Shopping worksheet?
The Grocery Shopping worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key. You can grade digital responses through Wayground or scan students’ completed printable work with the Wayground for Teachers app.
How can I differentiate the Grocery Shopping worksheet for my students?
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the department labels and answer choices are easier to follow. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the grocery-department questions and response choices into another language when appropriate.
