when i going to the cofes i onlyn buy drinks for example i like frappes.

Maybe 3 or 2 times in a week.

When I go out If I tired I buy coffee as drink. If I very hungry I buy some snacks when I was out.

Only about one time per month because i prefer to eating my mom's cook

I buy food or drinks from coffees around one or two times per week.

I think I have never bought drinks or snacks from cafés.

I often buy drinks and snacks from cafés. I like to buy cofee and drink and eat snacks on the cafés

I´m going to cafe sometimes in the month, I buy a slice of cake and coffee and I eat in

I often buy drinks and snacks. I like squeezed juice more than bottle. But at the moment, I have to drink bottle juice because of the covid 19, the cafe are close.

Often, I go to cafe to buy something. When this pandemic starts I didn't go to buy snacks. I made it in kitchen. My mother is made delicious food so i stay home.
