Shopping Set 1: Buying things to buy / to purchase

chemist (UK) / drugstore (US) – sells medicines and toiletries - I was glad that mum asked me to pick her tablets from the chemist as they had an offer on razor blades and I needed some new ones.

newsagents – shop that sells newspapers and magazines - Harry stopped off at the newsagents on his way to the train station each weekday morning to buy his daily paper.

pet shop – shop that sells food and other items for dogs, cats and other pets and sometimes small pets as well - My dog loves visiting the pet shop with me as he knows that I’ll buy him a dog chew.

bookshop – shop that sells books I buy lots of Christmas and birthday present from bookshops as all my family are keen readers. DIY store – shop that sells things for home improvement - Dad has promised me some shelves in my room so we’re off to the DIY store at the weekend to buy some planks of wood and screws.
