era para la despensa

Spanish to English Other Psychology
Context: self-questionnaire. Adoption proceeding.

Mi madre me explicaba que era muy dispuesta y siempre estaba a punto para ir a comprar con ella; me decía que cuando lo hacía, casi siempre compraba alguna cosa que ella no me había encargado, pero era para la despensa pues yo ya había visto que faltaba.

Thank you!
Cheers
