  • Ice cream is often the last purchase of the day — make sure you’ve saved enough in your budget for it
  • Check prices for different options (ice cream vs. freeze pop) and choose one that fits your remaining budget
  • Remember that toppings may add to the cost — factor them into your spending plan
  • Activity: At the end of your visit, count what’s left in your wallet. Can you afford a treat? This is real-world budgeting in action
  • Practice delayed gratification: if you saved money throughout your visit specifically for ice cream, you’ve successfully followed your budget
