Before I go out shopping I should : I should make a ”shopping” list to know where to go: for a long list I should go to a supermarket (big shop)or for 2-3 products I can go to the shop near of your house (small shop)

I write my shopping list with all the products I need in the house over a period of time: food, magazines, cleaning product, toiletries, writing instruments, notebooks even shoes and clothes Draft list: 1 kilo of potatoes, 1 bottle of orange juice, 2 carrots, 3 big apples, 4 tomatoes, 1 kilo of chicken meat, 1 small bag of washing powder, 1 bag of sugar, 1 bottle of cooking oil, 1 soap, 1 shampoo

Money I need to have money to buy Money are pieces of paper with different values or can be pieces of metal that have printed on them their value Money can be obtained by adults after doing a job.

I arrive at the shop. How I behave corectly I use the right door: Entrance door I check if I have money and the shopping list I speak politly and calm when I speak to a shop’s employees or other clients: Hello! I would like to buy...! Thank you! I keep intact the products I buy while in the shop, I should wait to open them when I get home

I must close the fridge/freezer door after use
