Jack Richards is conducting a survey. He is talking to Rob, Kathy and Cliff. Interviewer: Hi, Rob, do you try to save money?
Rob: Sure. I'm a student. I have to save money.
Interviewer: Well, how do you save money?
Rob: Well, I try not to shop in department stores or malls except when things are on sale. I never pay full price. And I really like shopping in outdoor
markets - you can usually find some real bargains there.
Interviewer: How about you, Kathy? Do you try to save money?
Kathy: Of course. See, I'm not really interested in having the very latest or the most fashionable things. I sometimes buy clothes at a thrift store. But, well, I think I still look pretty good, don't I?
Interviewer: Oh, yes, you look very good actually.
Kathy: Thanks. I bought my shoes in a regular store, but they were on sale. Interviewer: Oh, well, thank you very much Kathy. And you, Cliff? You try to save money too, don't you?
Cliff: Oh, sure. And the best way to do that is not to pay people to fix things for you.
Interviewer: What do you mean?
Cliff: Well, I try to fix things for myself, like fix my car or ... or repair things around the house. I like to get things done by myself. Last year I spent all my after-work hours doing plumbing work. I even installed a bar counter in our basement.
Interviewer: Great!
Cliff: And before I go grocery shopping, I cut coupons out of the newspaper. That way, I can save a lot of money on food and, you know, household things. I also look for things that are on sale. You can save a lot of money that way, too.
Interviewer: Well, thanks a lot, Cliff.
