Have them buy the groceries once
Just one time, have your kid try to buy the groceries for the family. This doesn’t mean with their own money. It just means you give them a budget (they can use your money) and see what they’re able to get with that. If you have a family of four, your kid may be surprised to learn that $100 doesn’t go very far. They may have thought $100 could feed you for several weeks! And they’ll come to learn that it can barely cover the food for four people for five days. Now that they know how long it takes to earn $100 through the jobs you’ve been making them do, they can really appreciate how much it costs to have the most basic need of food, covered by you.
