Types of shops

Shopping  is an activity in which a customer browses the available goods or services presented by one or more retailers with the potential intent to purchase a suitable selection of them.

When we want to buy something, we go to a shop.  Everyday shopping is rather traditional: some white and brown bread, milk, butter, sugar, salt, eggs, sausages . But it’s not necessary to visit different shops such as bakery or butchery to buy food for the family because we could buy foodstuffs

in a supermarket . Different goods are sold under one roof , so customers can save their time having all goods bought in no time .

• It is necessary to make a shopping list of what we need.

• We should calculate how much our purchases would cost .

• We shouldn’t be hungry while shopping.

• We shouldn’t go shopping immediately after we have got our salary.

And on my way from college I drop into the nearest supermarket, and buy bread and other everyday essentials. Every Friday evening I examine the kitchen more carefully as Saturday is my shopping day.

At the dairy I buy milk, cream, yogurt, cheese, butter and other products. I am a regular customer at the greengrocer’s where potatoes, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, oranges, apples and other fruits and vegetables. In summer I prefer buying fruits, berries and vegetables .

The method of shopping is very simple. In a self-service shop a customer goes from counter to counter selecting and putting into a basket the goods he wants to buy. It’s absolutely necessary to check the dates before which this or that foodstuff should be used, not to buy something of bad quality. Then a customer takes the basket to the check-out counter where the prices of the purchases are added up. After paying money to the cashier the customer can get his purchases.

Sophia:

Sometimes I have to go to a department store . I can buy there fabrics and footwear, glass, ready-made clothes and cosmetics, toys and electric appliances, furniture and sport goods, cameras and films.

British shops are becoming more and more European-like.

Their halls, adverts attract more customers.

Shopping gets some element of fun and entertainment.
