9. • Welcome! I’d like to tell you about my weekly trip to the grocery store.
Usually, this trip happens on Saturday. It’s not the most ideal day to
shop since the stores are packed on Saturdays. But I do like to shop
with my husband and daughter so we often go on Saturday.
• The first aisle in the store is filled with dry goods. Chips, nuts, breakfast
cereal, tea, and cookies fill this aisle. Of course, we need some of these
items in our cart. Next, we stop off to get some milk and eggs. This is at
the end of the store. We also get bread at the end of the store.
• After that, we go down the aisle with the canned goods and pasta. We
get cans of baked beans, refried beans, green beans, and butter beans.
I guess we eat a lot of beans! We usually get some kind of pasta as well
like spaghetti and rotini.
• Ideal-perfect example, best
•A typical grocery shopping day

10. • Finally, we stop at the aisle with the produce and the meat. We get plenty
of fruit and vegetables along with lots of potatoes. We eat potatoes
frequently during the winter and less frequently during the summer. We
don’t buy a lot of meat but usually buy chicken.
• At the checkout lane, there is always the temptation to put something else
in the cart. For example, sometimes there is a delightful bunch of flowers
for sale while at other times, a sweet treat like a cake or cookies is next to
the checkout lane. Sometime I succumb to purchase these items and other
times, I do not. Most weeks, I spend around $80.00 for my groceries.
• Frequently-on many occasions
• Temptation-a desire for something bad
