All people can be divided into shopaholics and those who hate shopping. I definitely fall into the second category, but as we all know shopping is a pressing necessity. I do little shopping during the week because I’m usually busy studying. If I do go somewhere to buy some food it’s within walking distance from my home. For instance, I occasionally go to the butcher’s to buy some meet or to the greengrocer’s for some vegetables. I sometimes go to the chemist’s if I need some medicine.
I try to do most of the shopping at the weekend when I have plenty of time. I usually go to a supermarket where I can buy not only food by also household goods such as cleaning products. I always make a shopping list not to forget anything. Among the items on my list are bread and bakery, cereals, meat and dairy products, fruit vegetables, drinking water and juice. As you can see it’s rather long, so if you asked me if I’m a «basket-person» or a «trolley-person» I would take a shopping cart and go down the aisles. When I’m done with everything on the list, I head for the till and pay for my purchase. When I don’t want to spend time doing the shopping myself I can have food delivered to my place. I choose what I need from an online catalogue; place my order on the site and wait for a courier to deliver it.
If I need some clothes I go shopping in a department store or a shopping centre because they offer good value. I never go to boutiques or upmarket shops because they are rather pricy and I can’t afford them. I often go shopping online. There are great benefits of shopping online. Competition is high, so there are always great sales and promotions. You also save time by shopping online.
So, that’s practically all about my going shopping. As I’ve already said I hate it. And you?
