I like to do my shopping at big department
stores and supermarkets.
They sell various goods under one roof and
this is very convenient.A department store, for example, true to its name,
is composed of many departments:
readymade clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods,
toys, china and glass, electric appliances, cosmetics,
linen, curtains, cameras, records, etc.
There are also escalators in big stores which take
customers to different floors.
In the women's clothing department you can find
dresses, costumes, blouses, skirts, coats, beautiful
underwear and many other things.
In the men's clothing department you can choose
suits, trousers, overcoats, ties, etc.
In the knitwear department one can buy sweaters,
cardigans, short-sleeved and long-sleeved pullovers,
woollen jackets.
In the perfumery they sell face cream and powder,
lipstick, lotions and shampoos.
In a food supermarket we can also buy many
different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar,
macaroni, flour, cereals, tea.
At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat
and poultry.
At the bakery you buy brown and white bread, rolls,
biscuits.
Another shop we frequently go to is
the greengrocery which is stocked by cabbage,
potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots,
green peas and what not.
Everything is sold here ready-weighed and packed.
If you call round at a dairy you can buy milk, cream,
cheese, butter and many other products.
The methods of shopping may vary.
It may be a selfservice shop where the customer
goes from counter to counter selecting and putting
into a basket what he wishes to buy.
You pay money to the cashier and he gives you
back the change.
