Verified step by step guidance

Identify the concept of budgeting and its purpose, which is to manage financial resources effectively by prioritizing essential expenses and reducing unnecessary costs.

Understand the difference between discretionary spending (non-essential expenses like entertainment) and essential spending (necessary expenses like medical treatments).

Evaluate each option provided in the problem to determine whether it aligns with the principles of responsible budgeting. For example, comparing prices before major purchases and cooking meals at home are effective ways to save money.
