Nowadays you can buy everything, well, almost everything from a supermarket - food, newspapers, medicine, petrol. Supermarkets offer banking facilities, too - you can withdraw your money from a cash point or ask for cash back at the checkout. You can even set up a savings account at your local store and, at the end of the day, have something to eat in the supermarket caf . Nowadays supermarkets stay open long hours. Once they were only open from 9 to 5, but now you can go in the evening to do your late night shopping.
Some supermarkets are even open throughout the night - sounds like a sleepwalker's paradise.
You have to read the small print. We've been talking about food labelling. To find out what you're really eating, read the label. Look at the small print on the label. There may be all kinds of information hidden in the small print.
