2 . The days of stopping at one store and buying everything in one location are long gone. We’ve put together a list of items you shouldn’t buy at the grocery store and we show you where to get them.
Tuna
Essentially a product from Chicken of the Sea, 5-ounce cans of Van Camp’s Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water are available for $1 per can at Dollar Tree. A similar product in the grocery store costs 59 cents more per can.
Olive Oil
Is it really worth buying expensive olive oil? We don’t think so. This 68-ounce Iberia Premium Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil sells at Target for $9.69. Reviewers love this less-expensive alternative saying it’s great for everything. Compare it with a standard 17-ounce size of Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil — much less oil, selling for roughly the same $9.99 when it’s not on sale.
Vitamins
You might not realize the savings you can reap on vitamins simply by buying them at a different store. A 100-count bottle of Vitamin D softgels can run $11.29 at Walmart. A 180-count bottle of Trader Joe’s Vitamin D 1000 iu softgels is only $11.99. That’s almost double the amount.
Storage Containers
For storing food, children’s supplies, or whatever your household needs may be, there’s nothing better than plastic storage containers. But why pay through the nose for them? Albertson’s has two half cup Rubbermaid Easy-Find Lids food storage containers at $6.89. But you can buy six of those from Target for $7.99 — four more for about a dollar.
Socks
Whether you lose one in the dryer or just wear through them, socks should be replaced once there’s a hole or the elastic gets loose. Dollar Tree has a good selection of men’s, women’s, and children’s socks. Women’s mini-crew socks come in three-count packs for $1. A three-count of similar socks at Albertson’s will cost $6.59 and there’s much less variety.
1. How much does a can of similar Tuna in the grocery store probably cost?| A．$9.69 | B．$1 | C．$1.59 | D．$7.99 |
| A．a plastic dryer | B．a 100-count bottle |
| C．a special storage container | D．a plastic storage container |
| A．at the grocery store | B．at Trader Joe’s |
| C．at Albertson’s | D．at Walmart |

7 . In China, Double Eleven Shopping Day is approaching. And there is a similar case in the United States—Black Friday. It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it’s not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”.
Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers (零售商) routinely open their doors as early as 4 a.m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they’ll be the first in line when the doors open.
But why is it called Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.
Businesses, however, didn’t like the negative tone associated with the “Black Friday” name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.
Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just don’t want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday (网络星期一) for the many online deals.

A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality as she wanted a pair of earrings made. "Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, "I would say it’s exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl."
The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.
