We go shopping for groceries about once a week. We take a little cart called a "Babuska cart" (babuska means grandmother in Russian). Notice my nice warm hat it was knitted by my friend Maureen Gordon, boy has it been a lifesaver. We either walk about 1 1/2 miles(one way) or ride the Metro (subway) 9 stations (one way)to get our groceries. Groceries are expensive, especially if they are imported, a bottle of Tabasco sauce costs about 274 rubles or almost $10.00.
