carolyn: albert and i need a lot of things to furnish our house.
but i don't know where the best place to shop is. can you give me some advice?
stephanie: sure, carolyn. i'm happy to help you.
what kinds of things do you need right now?
carolyn: well, we have most of the furniture already.
we mostly need kitchen utensils, bathroom accessories,
cleaning and laundry accessories--things like that.
and albert wants to set up a little office in the small bedroom.
stephanie: well, as for albert, he should go to an office supply store.
there's a very good one called office depot. they have everything he will need.
and their prices are good too. it's very convenient.
carolyn: can i write that down?
stephanie: sure, it's spelled "office" and then d - e - p - o - t.
it's in the yellow pages.
carolyn: thanks.
stephanie: and as for the kitchen things, do you want very high quality?
carolyn: what do you mean?
stephanie: i mean, do you want the best quality, or do you want good prices?
carolyn: probably good prices. you know we will only be in america for about a year.
stephanie: then i suggest you go to k-mart or wal-mart.
carolyn: what are those stores?
stephanie: they are very large, discount department stores.
that means their prices are very good.
and you can find everything you need for the kitchen or bathroom.
carolyn: even silverware?
stephanie: yes, everything.
they don't have the most expensive brands, but their quality is usually decent.
the main thing is, they have good prices, and they are very convenient.
carolyn: i have a friend that said something about a place called price club.
do you know about that?
stephanie: i have never shopped there,
but i think price club is a kind of membership store.
carolyn: what does that mean?
stephanie: that means you have to pay a membership fee to shop there.
i have heard they have very good prices on electronics.
carolyn: electronics?
stephanie: yes. like stereos and televisions.
carolyn: how much is the membership fee?
stephanie: i'm not sure.
but if you are only going to stay a year, i don't think price club is good to join.
they have great deals occasionally.
they are very good for people who like to buy new things all the time.
carolyn: i see. thanks for these tips. we really need to buy a lot of little things.
stephanie: i know how it is. moving is very troublesome.
