fuit licious

Today we went to Stop and SHop in South Boston. We were looking at how many different kinds of vegetables and junk food does the store sell. I saw a hundred different vegetables and I would like to name a couple:
-kale greens
-carrots
-turnip greens
-celery
-cabbage
-onions
-sweet potatoes
-regular potatoes
-acorn squash
-spaghetti squash
-butternut squash
-buttercup squash
-avacado
-broccoli rabe

I'm going to tell you about how much some prices cost. Broccoli cost $1.79 a pound. Lettucs cost $1.99 a pound. And green peppers cost $1.99 a pound. THey were not too expensive. I think it would be easy for people in SOuth Boston to eat good vegetables because it is not that much money and there are a lot of different kinds.

We also counted fruits and there were 55 different kinds. I will list some of them:
-fuji apples
-golden delicious apples
-braebar apples
-lemons
-limes
-rejou pears
-anjou pears
-bosc pears
-packhan pears
-red grapefruit
-oranges
-mangoes
-ugli fruit
-cactus pear
-passion fruit

Most of the apples cost around $2 a pound. Bananas in Stop and SHop cost 69 cents a pound. And oranges cost around $2 a pound too. I think it would be easy for people in SOuth Boston to eat fruit since there are a lot of different things to choose from.

I think the vegetables and fruits look fresh, so I think they'll get the attention of people so they will buy it.

We was stalking people, walking behind them and seeing what they have in their carriages, healthy food or unhealthy food. Most of the people in the store picked out healthy food.

THis is all the things I learned today in Stop and Shop.
