- Make a List: Plan the meals and snacks you are going to prepare for the week.
- Organize your List: Group items on your list according to the areas of the store.

What are the two reasons why we eat? Explain each.
HUNGER –is the physical desire for food.
A person can live only 3-4 weeks without food and only 2-3 days without water. The human body uses food for energy, growth, and body functions. When people are hungry, they begin to feel tired. When the stomach is empty, it contracts – this produces hunger pains that tell you to eat.
APPETITE –is a psychological need for food.
Various factors influence your appetite, especially the sight and smell of food. Taste buds are the sensitive areas of the tongue that identify tastes. Receptors are sensors in the nasal passages.
Give an example of a target audience using the key demographics?
Rice Krispies cereal would be aimed towards children because of the friendly characters that kids can relate to and the catchy jingles.
How is each colour typically used in marketing?
Using colours in marketing might convince consumers to think a certain way or react in a particular manner. Bright, warm colours (reds, oranges, and yellows) stimulate energy and happiness, while cool, subdued colours (blues, greens, and purples) are soothing and calming.
