4-H Youth Development

4-H Consumer Decision Making?

Many people don’t know how important it is to be a ‘smart shopper.’ Good consumer skills can
help you get more for your money. Consumer Decision Making gives youth the opportunity to make wise decisions when shopping.

You'll learn to make wise decisions about your available resources. Project activities also focus on decision making, understanding the economy and how it affects consumer decisions, money management, consumer rights and responsibilities, and how consumer decisions affect the environment.

Making consumer decisions can be confusing. We are overwhelmed by the sheer number of
consumer choices available to us in the real and the electronic marketplace. In the supermarket alone, there are thousands of goods to choose from. You will learn how to decide which goods and services best meet your needs. And you will learn a fail-proof process for making wise consumer decisions.
