Let's shop

It's 10 days before your family holiday party and you still have presents to buy. You don't have a lot of money to spend, however, all the stores are having sales hoping to attract your business. This means you will need to do some comparison-shopping to find the best prices.

Using the list below, pick one item for each person, then find two stores that are selling each item you are looking for and compare the sale prices of each. The comparison should include each stores original price for the item, what the discount is and the discounted price (showing the math you did to find that price).

Use this spread sheet to record all of your information.
