CLE - Book Nook Budgeting Project

Room 207 Book Nook
practice budget planning
 

The Overview
I have $100 (including tax) to create our book nook. We will practice budgeting BRIEFLY by choosing items you want for our nook. I’ll collect your budgets, and purchase based in part with your decisions.

What are some things you’d want for the space??
e.g. rug, chairs, lamps, side table, pictures hanging, plants…

Please also take into account our Grade 8 survey:

We should include their wants, too, as this space is for all of us.

Your Task Today

1. List out all the items you want for this space. You don't need to include books, as I have a separate budget and made those purchases on Friday. However, if you really want a certain title that you DON'T see, let me know.

2. Number your items in terms of priority: what is MOST important that our space have?

3. Search on Ikea (Richmond), Jsyk (Richmond), and possibly Craigslist for your items. Some items (like if you want photo frames), we can get at the dollar store (postcard-size: $2-3; 8x11" size - $4). I recommend you start with the high-priority items, and then use leftover money for the others. 

caveat 1: I rely on public transit, so I'm sorry, but I won't be purchasing and transporting a couch from store to my apartment to school.

caveat 2: If searching on Craigslist, do NOT reach out to the seller. I will do this. Please limit to sellers in Richmond or Yaletown (Vancouver)

4. Please send me your shopping list via email, including the following information for each item:

[what the item is] + URL/ link (Ikea, Jysk, Craigslist, Dollar Store)  + $ cost (include 12% tax unless Craigslisting)

- 1-2 bullet rationale for why you're choosing this item
