M/hat buying decisions do you m ake?
Joel Faust, 14
I buy my own records, tapes
and most o f my own clothes. I do
some grocery shopping fo r my
family. There are five kids in my
fam ily and when it comes to going
out to dinner, we all get a vote. 1
play sports. I choose the sports
equipment 1 want and my dad
usually pays fo r it. I. also, helped
my dad pick out our new
computer.
David Powell III, 14
I pick all o f my clothes and
shoes. Adults d on ’t know what
kids like to wear. Sometimes my
mom brings things home for me.
Il I don t like them she takes them
back. I chose my own T.V. and
tape recorder and, o f course, my
own records and tapes. The
movies I go to are my own choice
When we go out to eat 1 choose the
place o r else I get the money and
eat where 2 want to. I choose ali o f
the snack food like potato chips
cookies, cereal and stuff like that.
Debbie Halstead, 15
1 buy mv own personal things
like make-up, curling iron and
things like that. 1 pick out all o f my
own clothes. If it’s something I
really need my mother pays for it.
But if i t ’s something I just want, I
usually pay fo r it. When my mom
goes grocery shopping she takes
one o f us kids w ith her. She’s
learned that if she gets stuff we
d on ’t iike, we d on ’t cat it. We have
fam ily meetings to decide where
we go out to eat and where we
vacation.
Nicholas Houston, 6
I get to pick out my games and
‘ oys. I choose my shoes and
sometimes where to eat like
Burger King and s tu ff I got a new
bike from Santa Claus but I told
him what kind I really wanted.
Sometimes I get to pick out my
clothes. I pick out my own candy.
M y mom buys the cereal I like,
sometimes.
Alicia Jensen, 8
I get to choose my clothes but
my mom pays fo r them. I get to
choose my own shoes. , get to
decide where we go ou, to dinner. I
like french fries, fish and hot dogs.
M y mom buys most o f the things
we eat at home. When we go
grocery shopping I get to choose
the bread, the fru it and the cereal.
