Shopping Step by Step

When you go into the store you can take a shopping cart or basket to carry the items you want to buy.

The items in a store are organized into aisles – this word refers to the corridors in the supermarket– and placed on different levels called shelves. In clothing stores they can also be hung on racks.

If you want to see if a piece of clothing fits you (is the correct size) you can put it on in the try-on room or fitting room. If the clothing is too big we say it’s loose – and if it is too small we say it’s tight.

If an item is on sale that means there is a discount – the price is lower than normal. In stores you’ll often see the amount of the discount expressed with the word “off” – for example 20% off or $10 off. You can also use a coupon – a special piece of paper from a magazine newspaper or internet that will give you a discount.

To pay for the items you go to the checkout; the person who works there is called the cashier.

Let’s imagine your purchase costs $15 and you give the cashier $20. The cashier will give you back $5 – this is called your change – along with a receipt a piece of paper that lists the items you bought.

You can put your items into a plastic bag – but if you’re buying an item as a gift for someone else you can ask the cashier if it’s possible to gift-wrap the item with special decorative paper called wrapping paper.

Later if you discover a problem with the item you bought you can return it to the store where you can get a refund (receive your money back) or exchange it for another item of the same type. Some items – especially electronics and other machines – come with a guarantee (an agreement that the store or manufacturer will repair the item if it breaks).
