Printable Grocery List - Give Your College Student a Reality Lesson

Do you have a college student who is managing his own food costs? Perhaps
he is not living in a dorm where he has access to a campus meal-plan, but
instead is attempting to feed himself for the first time in his young
life?

Forget printable grocery lists and meal-planning, your student is on the
high road to take-out heaven.

How's that going for you? For your wallet?

If you are like most parents of college kids, the moment comes when you
realize your child doesn't have a clue about how to budget for a
reasonable food intake. And why should they? Our kids weren't born knowing
these things. College presents another opportunity for us to parent, just
in a different way.

My third child is currently in college and here are some of the steps we
have used to help our kids become savvy food consumers.

-- Printable grocery list.

Teach your young adult the value of simple tools like a printable grocery
list. Print some out from the internet or get an inexpensive grocery pad
that magnetizes to the fridge.

There are simple rules to using a grocery shopping list:

1. If you want to buy it at the grocery store, put it on the grocery list.

2. When you get to the store, if it's not on the grocery list, don't buy it.
