First, imagine you have a limited budget, so you can buy only seven of these twelve items. Have a look at them and choose. Remember to explain why you have chosen them.
Then, decide where you are going to buy them: a local shop, a shopping centre, a store downtown or online. Explain the reasons for your choices.
Finally, share your decisions with the rest of the class and think about what kind of items we buy in what type of shops. Are there any consequences for the local shops and the environment?

For example, where would you buy some of the things you find here? Would you take into account where to find the cheapest price? Or the place where you could get a refund in case you wanted to? Where would you get a more personal and warmer manner?
Sometimes, making a good or bad decision about where to buy a valuable item as well as considering these questions is as important as the object itself.
