提示：

1.       spend sth on sth花钱购买某物，spend sth in doing sth 2.       整篇文章都是在教你购物时怎样省钱，所以食物应该是昂贵的， 3.       本文教的是怎样在购物时节省，所以选择shop购物 4.       extra额外的，多余的，与前面的你需要的食物相对 5.       make a shopping list制作购物清单 6.       follow这里的意思是遵循，严格遵循清单，按照上面说的做 7.       这里是提到了又一点建议，选择what’s more还有 8.       这里已经说到了这一方面的最后一点建议 9.       第一段已经完成了购物清单，也就是说对你要选择的商品有明确的概念，在你知道选择哪些之后，这里说到下一方面了 10.   从后面的first, besides this, third等词就能看出有三点 11.   offer a special提供特价 12.   besides除了，与except不同的是，虽然是除了，但并非把这一点排除在外，意即除了这一点以外还有， 13.   这里其实是把顺序颠倒了一下，应该是however, sometimes you do not有时你买大的可以省钱，然而有时并非如此 14.   两句话是转折关系，一级蕃茄看起来很漂亮但是所有的蕃茄营养价值都是相同的 15.   下文中一直在说如何避免买蔬菜时的一些困难，这里应该选择困难 16.   go bad变坏，新鲜蔬菜不及时用的话就会变坏 17.   for the number根据人数来确定 18.   expect期待，plan计划，准备，offer主动提供，refuse拒绝，计划买当季的新鲜蔬菜因为当季的蔬菜便宜 19.   bright明亮的，fresh新鲜的，只能形容色彩
