Article: Provided your shopping list is well-organized, you should be able to tell at a glance which items may be found in which aisles. Do a methodical sweep of the store. Go through the most important aisles first, and make sure you have all of the things you need before you move on. Try to cross off your shopping list categories (i.e.: fresh vegetables) at a time. Shopping are made easier if you go at times when the supermarket isn't as crowded. Late nights before closing are perfect for this, as well as weekday mornings when most people are busy working. In contrast, it's not recommended you go shopping during the weekend or in the early evening if you can help it. The supermarket will be busier and you'll spend more time wading through the foot traffic. Cloth grocery bags are a useful touch if you want the best shopping experience. You will save on the added fees for plastic bags, and cloth bags are more durable. Using cloth bags to shop with is also environmentally friendly, so you can feel good about yourself while you shop. When you're buying food items, it's a smart idea to make a habit of checking the expiry date. This is especially important for things with a short shelf life such as milk. If there are multiple copies of an item available for purchase, check a few of them and pick whichever one has the latest expiry date. You should leave room on your shopping list for improvisation. In-store specials are worth exploiting if it's something you would have wanted anyway. Although your shopping trip shouldn't be dictated by what's on special, taking advantage of these opportunities is a great way to make the most of the money you spend. If your shopping trip is going to be fairly in-depth, you'll want to count for the time the frozen grocery items will be out with you. Frozen products like ice cream shouldn't be kept out of frozen storage for too long unless you want a mess on your hands. If you think the shopping trip is going to take a while, aim to have these frozen foods picked up last.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Plan out your trip by aisle-type. Go shopping during off-peak hours. Use cloth grocery bags. Check the expiry date. Keep an eye out for in-store specials. Get frozen foods last.
Article: Let your chickens see the treats in your hand so they approach you. Continue to do this around 2-3 times a day so your chickens associate food with the bridge noise. Make sure you're making your bridge noise first and giving them treats immediately after. Watch your chickens reactions after you bridge. If they perk up and approach you like they're waiting for food, the training is working. Give them the treats after they've come to attention and approached you. If your chickens aren't associating your bridge noise with food, keep training them until they do. It could take several weeks for all of your chickens to get there. Make sure all of your chickens are adequately trained before you let them out. If one chicken doesn't associate your bridge with treats, that chicken won't respond when you try to call the flock back to their coop. You may need to make it several times so all the chickens hear it. When the chickens return, give them their treats. If any of your chickens don't respond to your bridge noise, go collect them and bring them back to the coop. Keep training them until they make the connection.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make your bridge noise and give your chickens a treat. Start hiding the treats while making your bridge noise after a few days of training. Let your chickens roam free once they associate your bridge noise with food. Make the bridge noise when you're ready for your chickens to come home.
Article: Your plant will come out of its old pot more easily if the rootball is moist. You'll want to water the plant a few hours before you want to repot it. This will help it maintain its health even if it loses a root or two during the repotting. The rootball is the part of the plant that extends into the actual pot. It's made up of roots and soil and often keeps the shape of the pot after it's removed Place your hand over the top of the pot, and place your thumb and index finger around the plant's stem. Then turn the pot on its side and gently work the plant back and forth until it comes out. If the plant won't come out after several tries, you can use a knife to cut around the edge of the soil and try again. If you happen to break some of the roots, don't worry, you'll need to prune the rootball anyway. To make sure your plant takes to its new pot, you'll want to remove some of the old rootball to expose fresher roots to the new soil in the new pot. Clip off roots that hang below the rootball and make three or four slits in the bottom of the rootball about a third of the way up. If the rootball is black or smells, your plant might have some kind of fungal disease. You might not be able to save this plant or repot it. You can also shave away roots that seem particularly thick on the sides of the rootball. Once you prune the rootball and have exposed the healthy roots, untangle some of the roots that are left over. This gives the roots more contact with the new soil in the new pot. It encourages the roots to grow outward, instead of around the rootball.

Water the plant. Remove the plant from its current pot. Prune the rootball. Untangle the remaining roots.
