Question

1. all of the following are good budgeting strategies if you want to save money at the grocery store, except...

focusing on unit price when comparing similar products

building a weekly meal plan around items you already own or items that are on sale that week, rather than just choosing foods youd like to eat

focusing only on the price when comparing similar products

preparing a grocery list before you go to the store and avoiding buying items that arent on the list

Explanation:

To determine the incorrect budgeting strategy, we analyze each option:

• Focusing on unit price (first option) helps compare value, so it's good.
• Meal planning around owned/sale items (second option) reduces waste and cost, good.
• Focusing only on price (third option) is bad because unit price (price per quantity) is better for comparison (e.g., a cheaper total price might be for a smaller quantity, so unit price shows true value).
• Preparing a list (fourth option) avoids impulse buys, good.

Answer:

C. Focusing only on the price when comparing similar products
