It is good to shop around.

Slowly our tv remote, needed new batteries, I did without it as long as I could. I then went to my supermarket and with my shopping, added the batteries. I only wanted two, but the branded one that the store had, came in packs of four. So, I bought the four, it cost £5. That was very expensive but I think it will last about 3 years! A week later, I was with someone else, they were doing their shopping and went into a smaller store. This store sells a bit of everything. It is a nice shop, but I don’t go into it a lot, as it is out of the way. In this shop, when I came to the battery section, I was shocked to see the same branded battery that I had bought from the superstore, in this shop, it was £2.50! I was shocked.

I wanted to buy today, a hard case for my toothbrush. I decided to shop around, as I had the time, if the first price was not right. The first store I went to, a branded store, in the store, it cost £2 I thought that was a bit steep, so I thought, I would try the shop opposite. In that store they were selling them for £1.50.

The next store I went to, the one where the batteries were, it cost £1.

I wondered if the other cheaper store a few yards away, would that be cheaper? I found it in there for 59p!

So, for a few hundred yards, I got a bargain! Was chuffed to bits.
