I recently discovered that the / a / Ø money doesn't buy as much as it used to. I'd been living in the / a / Ø dormitory for two years and hadn't had to buy my own food for the / a / Ø whole time. Then, I moved into the / a / an apartment where I needed to buy the / a / Ø food for myself. The first day I wanted to get the / a / Ø juice, the / a / Ø meat, the / a / Ø bread and the / a / Ø butter. I went to the / a / Ø grocery store and put everything into the / a / Ø cart. When I went to pay, I found that the / a / Ø juice I had chosen cost $1.50, the / a / Ø meat $7.80, the / a / Ø bread $1.25, and the / a / Ø butter $2.00. The / A / Ø money I had brought with me was not enough, and I had to replace the / a / Ø butter on the / a / Ø shelf where I got it. Now, when I go shopping, I take more money.
