周末你去超市采购。货架上很多商品在打折,你拿了不少东西。排队结账的时候队伍特别长,等结完账拎着大包小包走回家,胳膊都有点酸。

My translation

I went to shopping at the supermarket on the weekends. A lot of goods were on sale, so I put quiet a few into my cart. The waiting line for checking was very long. After checking, I headed back home with all bags of stuff, which made my legs sore.

Revised version

I went shopping at the supermarket on the weekend. Lots of items were on sale, so I put quite a few in my cart. The checkout line was really long. Once I’d checked out, I headed home carrying several heavey grocery bags, and my arms ended up sore.
