AT THE SUPERMARKET
At the weekends when she has more free time, Elinor does her shopping at the big food store because she can buy a lot of things much cheaper than at her local shop. The supermarket is a self-service store. It is much larger than a shop in the centre and there you can buy any food and different house agents: toothpaste, soap, washing powder, cleaning powders etc. And the choice of food is wider than in little shops– there is everything from quick-frozen food to fresh vegetables, from tinned products to cooking oil. Most of food is on the shelves but some like meat and fish is in the departments where you can ask the shop assistant to cut and weigh as much as you need. Also there is a department with prepared food. If you have little time it is more convenient to take ready food than to cook it yourself.
Elinor walks from shelf to shelf and fills her wire basket. She always writes a shopping list and knows exactly what she needs. She watches prices and chooses the most attractive prices. But she never buys products of low quality, even if they are the cheapest. When the wire basket is full she goes to the cash desk. Elinor chooses a cash desk with the shortest queue. When it is her turn she pays for the products takes her change. She pays in cash but sometimes by card. Then she puts everything into a plastic bag. She arrives home tired but happy that she has saved some money.
