Budget Plan

The relationship between food prices and quality are important for consumers. Many
people would think that high prices would signal high quality but it is mediocre. We planned
and budgeted the meal plan according to how high or rather how the client’s family will be able
to prepare such foods we plan basing on his parent’s work. We planned the meals the way it is,
because the possible expenses are inside his father’s salary, who is a laborer. A laborer’s salary
nowadays drops at 16, 676 pesos per month, or 650 pesos per day, if there are 26 working days
in a month. With the fact that the meals we planned costs about 300- 450 pesos, then his
father’s salary is just enough to sustain his family’s needs, and there is still money left from the
salary for other expenses. The meal that we prepared does not mean that it is just for the
client, but the excess proportions might be consumed by other members of the family.
