I now post at www.lieasyesol.blogspot.com

I have a very similar blog at www.lieasyesol.blogspot.com.  It's almost identical, but I tried to make the side links less overwhelming.  Former students are always welcome to use any of my blogs.  Please write comments and let me know how you are doing.

computer class AM: Do you shop around?

Game to practice comparative

Where do you like to shop?  What do you like to buy?  Pick three things you often buy, and research where to get the best deal.  When you write about it, use English comparatives.


The package at __________ is bigger than the package at ____________.
Brand X is more expensive, but it's more delicious than Brand Y.
Clorox Wipes are cheaper at Target than at Wal-Mart.

Here are some links with some grocery sales.  Most of them only show the sale prices this week, but Wal-Mart is easy to search by product. (Thing you want to buy).  Comparing is easier if you pick something on sale at another store then search for the same thing on the Walmart page.

Safeway Weekly Specials

Shoppers Food Warehouse

Harris Teeter Specials

H-Mart

Walmart

Target

Costco



In the song, "shop around" means date a lot of girls before marrying one.  "Shop around" usually means looking in many stores before buying the best deal.   Is shopping around for a spouse a good idea?  Do you like to shop around for the things you buy?
