Fritter, the
things we buy
are either
GOODS or
SERVICES.
At the doggy donut shop,
everything I buy is good!
Yes, but goods are
one thing, and
services are
something else.
Yum! These donuts
are something else!
My pal Fritter is really
confused. Read this page
and see if you can think
of a way to explain goods
and services to him!
Some stores sell all or mostly
goods. For example, a grocery
store sells mostly goods. If it has
a bakery that makes birthday
cakes, then it offers goods and
a service in one product!
Other stores sell mostly
services, such as a car wash
or a barber shop.
Complete the following to
describe a store you go to:
