Hi there,
I'm about to do the shopping. I've already prepared my shopping list, just to avoid buying unnecessary things or those products I would only eat for pleasure instead of fuel. ;-) I've taken my cloth bag, - I'm trying not to use those plastic bags any more and obviously a bit of cash.
I enjoy doing the shopping, walking the aisles in the local supermarket and visiting the small shops such as the butcher's, the fishmonger's or the greengrocer's where the human contact is still alive and you can chat to the owner while looking at a great display of goods.
But before continuing, let's practise our listening skills.Click here and you'll listen to a conversation about grocery shopping at the supermarket.
Now it's time to leave your comments. How often do you do the shopping? Do you fancy doing it today? What kind of food do you usually buy at the local shops? Do you like supermarkets or hypermarkets?
When you are writing your shopping list, do you consider buying food for pleasure or just for fuel?
I often do the shopping once a week in hypermarket, there I buy products such as milk or cookies. But I like to buy fresh products (fruit, meat and fish) in local shops because I think that there are more quality.
ResponderEliminarWhen I've received this e-mail, I was doing the shopping. I was in Mercadona.
ResponderEliminarI enjoy doing the shopping in the small shops. There, I buy meat, fish, fruit... I often go every day.
However, I hate buying at supermarkets or hipermarkets.
i enjoy doing the shoping when I buying one.because I buy what I need.When I was going with my family We often buy things unnecessary. They put on the cariage chips, sweets, desserts, chocolate, etc. they often forget like vegetables tomatoes, lettuce, cauliflower, spinach, etc.at the end the bill is too expensive and we haven`t bougth much healthy food, I want to have a healthy diet for my family.
ResponderEliminarAt the local shops I usually buy fruit and meat buto other things I buy them at the supermarket because it's cheaper.Small shops are more expensive than the supermarket.
I too am trying not to use plastic bags because that`s bad for the medioambient.
we have to think about it.
I have to buy every week because I am cooking for may family avery day.
Hello!! I usually buy fruit and meat in the local shops because I think are better than in supermarkets or hipermarkets but I go once a week to hipermarket to buy the rest of the products I need. Currently, the people do not have so many time to spend it buying in each shop for this reason I think the people goes to hipermarkets because in only one place your can get all you need, althougth maybe it is not the best quality
ResponderEliminarI usually do the shopping once a week but I hate it. It´d be great if someone brought it at home.
ResponderEliminarWhen I lived in Madrid, I used to do the shopping by the Internet.
I don´t usually write food for pleasure in my shopping list but It always appear in my fridge ;-)
Hello guys,
ResponderEliminarI don't usually do the shopping because somebody does it for me. But I go shopping once in a while, usually on Saturdays. When we go shopping, I drive our car and my wife buy that we need: Things like clothes (jeans, or T-shirts, or shoes, or anything like this), or cleaning products, or of course packaged foods like cookies, chocolate, fruit juice, but also cheese, pizza or sausages.
I don't mind go shopping, I think it's a obligatory task that we have to do, but I hate wasting my time when we visit a lot of shops only to see more and more clothes or anything, and, after a whole afternoon, we bought nothing! It's a nightmare!
I usually do the shopping in a supermarket twice a month, I buy there no perishable food like pasta, rice or tins of conserve, however I prefer buying at the local shops groceries like meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, and every morning I buy bread in a local baker's. When I go to do the shopping I always take my shopping list to not forget anything and trying to not buy unnecessary groceries, although my shopping list sometimes contains some pleasure things, for example Nocilla or other sweets.

ResponderEliminarGoing shopping it's for me a waist of time, much more I'm get nervous and impatient waiting my turn. I try to go only twice at month because for me it's like a pain in the neck. Instead my wife enjoying doing sopping, not only clothes, also food, and always charge me a lot. I have a equilibrate diet, sometimes I add up the calories, protein .My favourite food are an apple, fish, red cabbage I always eating for fuel and pleasure, both are important for my body. Finally I let this job in safe hands (my wife) she really enjoy going shopping ..my duty is to helps her place in the fridge purchase ..
ResponderEliminarI usually do the sopping once a week in a supermarket, and I buy milk, cereals, biscuit and clean products. I like doing a list and buying necessary things, but when my family gp with me, the list go up with innecessary things. I buy the bread in the same shop everyday and the fruit, the meal and the fish in different local shops, and I always bring my plastics bag.
ResponderEliminarGood afternoon classmates!
ResponderEliminarI love going to buy all sorts of things. Food, clothing, furniture, everything.
I usually go shopping with my wife, and we have a big problem, because neither we stop. Due to the crisis, buy ... little.
We tend to buy on impulse, and that's a very bad thing.
Regarding the food, we usually make two large purchases a month, because in my town there are not many establishments and are usually very expensive. When buying food, we usually make a list, but we always buy something that is not on there.
I like all kinds of food. And I do not usually eat fast food, for work, my wife is the one that usually making the food, she's very good cook.
I love shopping!

it´s very important to eat healthy. we have to buy fresh food and we must eat low-fat food.
I do the shopping all days because I like eat healthy and I like cook food fresh, so today I´m going to buy a piece of beef in a butcher´s. Besides, I usually buy meat, fish, vegetables and fruit the local shops. However, I like supermarket to buy milk, olive oil, rice, pasta and other things with long expiration. On the other hand, I´m writting the shopping list because I prefer buy food which I need.
