Mrs. Richards’ Shopping

Last Sunday Mrs. Richards looked into her fridge and saw that it was nearly empty. Mrs. Richards does not like it when there is nothing in her fridge. She took a big bag and went shopping.

There is a good supermarket not far from Mrs. Richards’ house, and she went there. When Mrs. Richards came to the shop, she took a basket at the entrance and went inside. First she went to the butcher’s counter. They didn’t have beef that day, but there was a good choice of pork. Mrs. Richards took a good piece of pork and two chickens. Then she went to the greengrocer’s, because she wanted some potatoes and cabbage. She did not like the potatoes and decided to go to the market later. But she took a good head of cabbage.

After that Mrs. Richards stopped at the delicatessen counter to see what she could buy for supper. She took a piece of cheese and a piece of sausage. They were selling ham, too, but she decided not to take ham: there was too much fat on it.

On the way to the cash-desk Mrs. Richards stopped at the confectioner’s counter to buy some candy and biscuits for tea. She also took a chocolate roll. There were two or free people in front of Mrs. Richards at the cash-desk, and she had to wait a little. When her turn came, she paid for the foodstuffs she had bought and went home.

On the way home she called at a dairy-shop to buy a bottle of milk. She did not buy eggs, because her bag was full and she was afraid to break the eggs. She decided to go later for eggs and also to the baker’s to buy a loaf of bread.
