Purpose of Section 3 Show slide 1 and state that the purpose of

section 3 is to introduce Step 2 in the food purchasing process.

Step 2 is developing a grocery list.

Lesson Introduction Emphasize that developing the grocery list is

time-consuming, but it is an important step to purchasing success.

Note: Use the six tennis balls described under “Materials and Supplies” on page 33 for the following activity. Take the six tennis balls and attempt to juggle

them. Then, throw them one by one to different participants and ask the participants to catch them. After you have thrown all six balls, ask those who caught them to read aloud the label on the ball.

Point out that a person must juggle the six

things labeled on the balls—menus, recipes, the list for standard stock and yearly items, the list for menu items, a calculator, and pen and paper—when making the grocery list.

The best way to juggle all these is to break up

the task of making the grocery list into two parts: (1) making the list of items needed and (2) estimating the quantities.

Section 3 of the participant manual deals with

how to develop the list of items needed and section 4 deals with how to estimate quantities.

Objectives of Section 3 State that section 3 has three

objectives.

Show slide 2 and state that at the end of section 3 the learner will be able to o name the parts of a grocery list and o distinguish among food items that

should be kept in the pantry at all times, purchased yearly, or purchased only when on the menu.

Show slide 3 and state that at the end

of section 3 the learner will also be able to develop a grocery list for a small child care center.

Parts of the Grocery List Show slide 4 and state that the grocery

list is divided into three parts. Note: At this point, only go over the general definition of each part as given below. Mention that you will go over each part in more detail later in the lesson. One part is standard stock items. o These are foods that are kept on

hand all of the time. o They are staple food items that are

replaced often. Another part is yearly items. o These are foods that are purchased

only once per year. o They are mostly herbs and spices.

The third part is menu items. o These are foods that are purchased

only when they are on the menu.



Grocery List

Manual Page

p. 15

Parts of the Grocery List (cont.) Show slide 5 and state that the list of menu

items is made by

o adjusting the recipes to the correct quantities [by using the yields in the Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs (FBG) (USDA/FNS, 2001) to determine the quantities needed by age group],

o writing down the foods and quantities

needed to prepare the recipes, and*

o writing down the other foods required to prepare the menu (those that do not have a recipe) and estimating the quantity of each.*

Point out that the FBG needs to be used when

determining quantities. Show a copy of the FBG and put it on a desk

or table so that the participants can review it during a break time.

Mention that section 4 explains how to use the

FBG. Point out that breaking the grocery list into

these three parts—standard stock items, yearly items, and menu items—makes purchasing a system that is not people dependent. With this system, if the person who usually makes the grocery list gets sick, goes on vacation, quits, etc., another person can easily step in and make the list.

Emphasize that once the grocery list is

organized and the staff member with this responsibility gains experience, the task becomes easier.

*Note: record quantities of foods using the purchase unit (i.e., lb, oz, doz, qt, gal) when possible.

p. 16

Cycle Menus Show slide 6 and point out that cycle

menus save time. They save time because each time a menu in the cycle is repeated, the previous grocery list can be used.

Ask those who already use cycle

menus to raise their hands.

o Ask them to state how long their cycles are.

o Ask for any tips they can suggest

for cycle menus. Standard Stock Items Show slide 7 and state that standard

stock items are foods that are kept on hand all of the time.

They are also called “par stocks” and

“inventory on hand items.” Any food that is used each week could

be placed in this group. Emphasize that the foods in this group

will differ from center to center. Examples of foods of this type are all-

purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vegetable oil, vinegar, pan release spray, jams, jellies, imitation maple syrup, peanut butter, catsup, tomato paste, instant nonfat dry milk, and mayonnaise.

p. 16

Standard Stock Items (cont.) Continue showing slide 7 and state that infant

foods fall under standard stock items. Point out that the infant foods section of this

list should be left blank until the center knows the exact food or formula that a child will receive.

Show slide 8 and state that USDA/FNS

recommends that a school, center, or day care home offer the type of formula that the infant’s health care provider has suggested to the infant’s parent (or guardian).

A center should maintain a list of formulas not

requiring a medical statement. USDA/FNS has provided State Agencies with

a list of formulas that do not require a medical statement when offered to infants in the CACFP.

Point out that a complete copy of this list and

other information can be found on the Web.

o The Web address for this list is on page 16 of the participant manual.

o Have the participants open their manuals to

page 16 and locate the Web address, which is http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/Care/Regs-Policy/infantmeals/formulaList.htm.

Emphasize that a center should have a stated

policy related to infant formulas and foods. A center has a couple of options for this

policy.



Section 3

Manual Page

p. 16

p. 17

Standard Stock Items (cont.) Show slide 9 and state that this slide

shows the two policy options a center can take in regard to infant formulas and foods.

One option a center should consider is

to make an effort to provide all infants with the formulas or foods that they receive at home. This approach is used most often when at-risk children are served.

The second option is to approve

specific formulas and infant foods and make only those formulas or foods available. If parents want their child to have a different food or formula, they may decline the offered formula or food and supply another type.

Ask the participants what policy their

centers have regarding infant formulas and foods.

Show slide 10 and emphasize that

participants should check with the State Agency if they are not sure whether a type of infant formula requires a medical statement to be served in the infant meal pattern.

Refer the participants to the sample

standard stock list on page 27 of the participant manual. Point out that the quantities are missing and that they will be filled out in section 4.



Manual Page

p. 17

Yearly Items Show slide 11 and state that yearly items are

foods that the center uses in small amounts and buys only once or twice per year.

Examples of foods in this group are cinnamon,

paprika, vanilla flavoring, cayenne pepper, poultry seasoning, crushed oregano, and garlic powder.

Emphasize that a center should buy quantities

of these foods that it will use within 1 year (even if the expiration dates are beyond 1 year) because many herbs and spices lose flavor after a year.

Refer the participants to the sample list of

yearly items on page 27 of the participant manual. Point out that the quantities are missing and will be calculated in section 4.

Menu Items Show slide 12 and state that menu items are

foods that are purchased only when they are on the menu.

Normally these items are purchased weekly. Foods that do not store for a long time are in

this group. Milk, fresh eggs, and fresh fruits and

vegetables are always in this group. Some foods in this group can be stored for a

long time. However, because of their cost, centers may choose to put them on this list if the centers do not want to spend money until the item is needed.

Refer the participants to the sample menu items list on page 28 of the participant manual. Point out that the quantities are missing and that they will be calculated in section 4.



Section 3

Manual Page

p. 17

p. 18

How to Save Time Show slide 13 and state that if a center

puts as many foods as possible in the standard stock list, it saves time in making the grocery list.

One reason for this is that the center

does not have to calculate how much to buy of these items because it always buys a certain amount—a standard stock—of these items. For example, it might always buy 1 gallon of vegetable oil.

A center also saves time because it

does not need to write these items down.

o A center should keep a printed list

of these items and the amount to buy when it is low on them.

o When the center’s menus call for these items, a staff person walks to the pantry with the list, circles any item that is low, and indicates that a new package or container needs to be purchased.

Show slide 14. It shows part of a

sample standard stock list. The center with this list keeps a

standard stock of two 14-oz boxes of whole-grain crackers. If a staff person goes to the pantry and finds only one box, he or she circles the quantity (click on the computer mouse to make the circle appear) and writes “1” beside the circle to indicate that the center needs to buy one 14-oz box.



Manual Page

p. 18

How to Save Time (cont.) Continue showing slide 14 and state that you

will give another example of how to use the standard stock list in purchasing.

The center keeps a standard stock of three 1-lb

boxes of margarine. If a staff person goes to the pantry and finds only one box, he or she simply circles the quantity (click on the computer mouse to make the circle appear) and writes “2” beside the circle to indicate that the center needs to buy two 1-lb boxes.

Meals Served at Oak Street Child Care Center Show slide 15 and tell participants that you

will use Oak Street Child Care Center to discuss how to develop a grocery list.

Remind participants that Oak Street Child

Care Center is open Monday through Friday, 52 weeks a year, except for certain holidays.

Point out that the Center serves meals to

infants, children, and caregivers. Remind the participants that Oak Street Child

Care Center serves breakfast, lunch, and a snack daily.

Grocery List for Day 4 Show slide 16 and state that you will review

how to make Oak Street Child Care Center’s grocery list for Day 4.

Point out that to make the grocery list for

Day 4, you need the menus for children and infants for Day 4, the recipes for Day 4, and the grocery list.

p. 18

Grocery List for Day 4 (cont.) Note: As you do this review, if participants ask why an item is on the “Menu Items” list as opposed to the “Standard Stock Items” or “Yearly Items” list, allow them to discuss the issue. Remind them that there are no right or wrong answers. Every center is different. The objective is to get the participants to recognize the differences among the three parts of the grocery list and to learn the decision-making process. Point out that the grocery list is made

by going down the list of foods on the menu. It is not made in alphabetical order. The menu for children for Day 4 will be considered first. Have the participants locate this menu on page 9 of their manuals.

Show slide 17 and point out that the

first item on the menu for children for Day 4 is milk. It is on the menu three times.

Show slide 18 and point out that milk

is on the “Menu Items” list because the type of milk served (flavored or unflavored) varies each week.

The asterisk (*) in the “Quantity”

column means the quantity needs to be calculated using the FBG. The quantities needed for milk will be calculated in section 4.



Manual Page

p. 19

Grocery List for Day 4 (cont.) Continue showing slide 18 and state that “1qt”

refers to the quantity needed for the broccoli cheese soup recipe.

Point out that the Center purchases both whole

and 1% milk. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (USDA/United States Department of Health and Human Services [HHS], 2005) recommends that children 2 years old and older be served either fat-free or lowfat milk. The Center has chosen to serve lowfat (1%) milk to these children. Whole milk is served to children under 2 years old.

Show slide 19 and state that orange sections

are the second item on the menu for children for Day 4.

Show slide 20 and state that fresh oranges are

purchased only when they are on the menu. So, “Oranges, fresh” goes on the “Menu

Items” list. The asterisk (*) in the “Quantity” column

means the quantity needs to be calculated using the FBG. That quantity will be calculated in section 4.

Refer participants to the blank grocery

list in appendices 2 and 3 on pages 128 and 129 of the participant manual. Tell them that they can adapt this blank grocery list for use in their centers.

Activity 1 Note: The purpose of Activity 1 is to have the participants practice placing foods in the three columns of the grocery list form. Have the participants do the activity either individually or in small groups. Give them 15 minutes to do the activity. Have the participants open their

manuals to Activity 1 on page 22.

Read over the following directions of Activity 1 with them.

Directions: The first step in making a grocery list is to look at each food on the menus and recipes and decide if it is a standard stock item, a yearly item, or a menu item. Also, if the food is part of a recipe, the amount needed for the recipe should be written down beside the food item if the food falls under “Menu Items.” If the food on the recipe falls under “Standard Stock Items” or “Yearly Items,” the amount needed for the recipe is not written down because the Center stocks enough to make the recipe.

Key Point Remember to record quantities of foods using the purchase unit (i.e., lb, oz, doz, qt, and gal) when possible.



Manual Page

p. 22

Activity 1 (cont.) Directions (cont.): (Section 4 explains how to determine the quantities to keep on hand for standard stock items and yearly items.) The grocery list on pages 27–28 has all of the foods needed to prepare the menus and recipes for children and infants for Days 1–4 at Oak Street Child Care Center. However, the grocery list is missing the foods from the menus and recipes for Day 5. Add the foods on the menus and recipes of Oak Street Child Care Center for Day 5 to the grocery list. Look at each food and decide if it should go under “Standard Stock Items,” “Yearly Items,” or “Menu Items.” Then, write the food down on that part of the list. The “Standard Stock Items” and “Yearly Items” parts of the grocery list are on page 27. The “Menu Items” part is on page 28. Also, if a food under “Menu Items” is used in a recipe, write down the quantity needed for the recipe beside that food. If the food is not used in a recipe or is a standard stock or yearly item, do not write down any quantity beside it. If a food under “Menu Items” needs a quantity calculated from the FBG, put an asterisk (*) in the “Quantity” column. Do not complete the “Quantity” columns in this activity. These will be completed in section 4. The menu for children for Day 5 is on page 10, while the menu for infants for Day 5 is on page 13. The two recipes used for the menu for children for Day 5 can be found on pages 25–26. These recipes, from Child Care Recipes: Food for Health and Fun (USDA/FNS, 1999), have been updated to reflect new Food Buying Guide for Child Nutrition Programs (USDA/FNS, 2001) crediting information.

Activity 1 (cont.) Note: Use slides 67 to 117 to go over the answers to Activity 1. When discussing the answers, encourage the participants to state on which list they would put foods in their centers. For example, some foods, such as grape juice, which are not used very often at Oak Street Child Care Center and fall under “Menu Items,” might be used quite often in some centers and, therefore, would fall under “Standard Stock Items.” Also, some foods that fall under “Standard Stock Items” at Oak Street Child Care Center might fall under “Menu Items” in some centers. Have the participants locate the menu

for children for Day 5 on page 10 of their manuals.

Note: After discussing the answers to Activity 1, point out that items on the “Menus Items” list should be placed under the section where they are found in the grocery store (Dairy Products, Fresh Produce, etc.). Grocery stores can vary where they place their products. Thus, participants may place the items for their center under different sections than Oak Street Child Care Center does. For example, Oak Street Child Care Center places eggs under “Fresh Produce” because that is where eggs are found in its grocery store. Participants may find eggs in a different section in their grocery stores.

Note: The grocery list with the answers to Activity 1 added can be found on pages 73 to 74 of this instructor guide. The answers to Activity 1 are bolded in italics. These answers are not found in the participant manual. Transition to Section 4 Point out that now that the foods needed for

the menus and recipes have been recorded on the grocery list, it is time to estimate the quantities the Center needs to buy.
