Phrase to stock
Text In this podcast, the verb "to stock" means for a store to have something available to sell, or to have something in its inventory: "Do any of the stores in town stock spices for Thai cooking?" If a store is "well stocked," it has a lot of items for sale: "This store has to be well stocked before the storm comes." The phrase "in stock" means available for sale: "Why would a store have snow shovels in stock in the middle of summer?" The phrase "out of stock" means all sold with no more units available: "We're temporarily out of stock, but we expect a new shipment to arrive next week." Finally, the phrase "to stock up" means to buy a lot of something so that one can use it later: "Quentin always stocks up on toothpaste and deodorant when it goes on sale."
