Teaching someone to cook and grocery shop

My son and his girlfriend have asked me to teach them to cook and grocery shop. They plan on moving in together in about 6 months. They will have about $145 per week to spend on groceries. She doesn't have any parents, so as the psuedo mother figure, it falls to me to teach them.

I know how to cook, bake and can make just about anything. But I don't know where to start to teach someone else. They know the basics like scrambled eggs and grilled cheese, for the most part.

Where would you start teaching someone else how to cook? How about grocery shopping?

I've never taught anyone to cook/shop so I have no idea where to begin. The other night I had them make hamburger helper (disgusting), salad and canned green beans. Not exactly nutritious but browning hamburger etc. seemed like a place to start.

Any ideas, tips, tricks?
