Department stores are places intended for those who want a wide choice of consumer goods, but not food usually. Supermarkets are places where one can buy almost everything including all imaginable foodstuffs, washing powder, clothes and toys.

A department store usually consists of many departments. There you can not only buy different goods, but also have a snack and enjoy computer games. When you are at a department store, you usually buy clothes or footwear. The most important in buying these goods are the choice of colour, cut and size. To choose a piece of clothes or a pair of shoes one should try it on and to look at oneself in the mirror. Sometimes you do not know your exact size and you may need a bigger or a smaller item. At a department store, one can buy knitted goods, hosiery (socks, stockings and tights), and underwear. Women like to visit such departments as millinery, haberdashery, makeup, perfumes departments, and china departments. Men enjoy looking at the items in stationery departments and instruments departments.
