Every Saturday, Mom writes a shopping list. This week we need rice, chicken, tomatoes, and cheese. We need fruit too: apples, bananas, and oranges.

Dad wants fish for Sunday dinner. My sister wants ice cream, but Mom says no. 'Ice cream is not on the list,' she says.

At the store, we buy bread and milk too. Now we have food for the whole week.
