How do blind people shop for groceries?
There are many kinds of food that can be identified by touch, such as fruits and vegetables, and packaged meats. But things like canned foods, cereal boxes, gallons of milk, and ice cream containers may be hard to identify. Many blind people like to shop with a friend who will help to find things and read the different brands and types.
We can identify many kinds of food by touch, such as fruits and vegetables, hot dogs, chicken, and other items. But it is more difficult to identify things like soup cans, cereal boxes and ice cream containers. Many of us like to shop with a friend who will help to find things and can read the different brands and types. Or a blind person might ask a store employee to help find the groceries. Some blind people (especially if they are buying a lot of things) will make a print list for someone else to read, and they will use a Braille list for themselves.
