Dialogue:

Tom:

Alice, we need to look for a new jacket for me. My old one is getting too small.

Alice:

I know! Let’s pick out something that will match your jeans. You’re not looking for anything too fancy, right?

Tom:

Exactly! I don’t want to splurge on a jacket, but it needs to be comfortable. Do you think I should try on this one?

Alice:

Yeah, it looks nice. Let me see if I can find out if they have it in your size. Sometimes the store doesn’t have all sizes available.

Tom:

Good idea! If they don’t have it, I can always check out some other stores. There’s a sale at the shop across the street, so we could pop in and see what they have.

Alice:

Sounds good. I want to pick up a new scarf, too. I’ve been meaning to buy one for weeks.

Tom:

Are you going to try on that sweater, too? It looks really warm!

Alice:

I might! But I also need to check out the shoes section. I’ve been looking for a pair of boots to wear this winter.

Tom:

If we run into a good deal, I might go ahead and get a new pair of boots as well.

Alice:

Let’s not overdo it though. We still have to stick to our budget.

Tom:

Agreed! Let’s wrap up the shopping soon and get something to eat. I’m starving.
