At the grocery store restored
Today Tara is going shopping
she is not shopping for fun things like clothes or shoes
but for some food for supper
and things she needs around her house
This kind of shopping is for groceries.
So Tara goes to the grocery store
A 'shop'
is sometimes called a 'store'
It's a good idea to make a shopping list before you go shopping
so that you know what to buy.
But Tara has forgotten to do this
So Tara takes a shopping basket
and goes to look at the snack bar.
She doesn't want to buy
any fast food
which has been cooked at the store.
Tara wants to look at the
menu selection
to get some ideas.
Ah. She has seen something she likes
now she is going to the fruit and vegetable section to start shopping
At the fruit and vegetable section
she sees Matt
Mat has a shopping trolley
in America they call this a shopping cart
because he has a lot of shopping to do
While Matt decides if he wants to buy some apples
Tara takes an iceberg lettuce
and puts it in her shopping basket
The bakery section smells good!
Look, there's cookies, and cake and pie.
why not have a fruit pie for dessert?
Tara puts the pie in her basket and goes to the dairy section.
Matt is already there
and he has got a carton
of fruit juice
and a tub
of ice cream
Tara looks at the chilled
goods
while Matt goes down the aisle
to pet supplies
His friend has asked him to get some pet food
for his cat
Matt gets some cat food
and Tara takes a carton
of milk for her coffee
What next?
Maybe something to go with the lettuce.
Tara goes to the
canned food shelves
and looks at the tinned food.
On the bottom shelf are cleaning materials for her clothes and for
cleaning the kitchen
but Tara does not need to use these
she takes some bottled asparagus
instead
Now
for some meat. Tara wants
some cooked meat,
so she goes to the delicatessen
She does not want seafood
but how about pizza
or roast chicken?
there is a ham on the butcher's scales
but Tara decides she will have the box of chicken
nuggets
which is also on the counter
well that's all Tara needs
Now she has to pay for her shopping
so she goes
to the nearest
checkout
the woman rings up Tara's purchases at the till.
The till shows Tara what she
has bought and how much it will cost
Tara could use the card reader
to pay with her
debit card
but she decides that today she will pay in cash
using money she has
in the pocket of her jeans.
So Tara's shopping has been bagged
Now she is leaving with bottled asparagus and chicken nuggets for her meal
alter that she will have a pie and some coffee with the milk she has just
bought
Enjoy your meal, Tara
