Going to the Grocery Store

Each week I go to the grocery store to buy food for my family.

I get a shopping cart from the front of the store, and I push the cart all around the store.

The cart is large, but when I am finished shopping, the cart is nearly full! 

The grocery store is also called a supermarket.

When I go shopping, I start out in the produce section of the supermarket.

The produce section is where the fresh fruits and vegetables are kept.

I like to buy different kinds of fruit, such as apples, oranges, and bananas.

The vegetables that I often buy are carrots, peas, and corn.

I also buy tomatoes when they are bright red in color.

I often buy a bag of potatoes or a bag of rice. 

After visiting the produce section, I go to the meat section.

Here I buy poultry, such as chicken and turkey.

I often buy seafood, especially fish.

I also buy beef, and sometimes pork or lamb.

I also visit the dairy section, where I can buy milk and cheese.

Sometimes I also buy ice cream or yogurt. 

When I have finished in the meat and dairy sections, I then move to the bakery section.

This is where loaves of bread are baked and sold.

There are many different kinds of bread in the bakery section.

The bakery section also sells pasta, such as macaroni and spaghetti.

And, of course, you can buy pies, cakes, and cookies in the bakery section.

These foods are very sweet and tasty! 

I also pick up a few other things at the supermarket, such as soap, toothpaste, and cleaning supplies.

But sometimes I forget to buy something that I had planned to get.

Maybe I should make a list of the things I need to buy!
