Local grocery store

When I need a couple grocery items between my weekly shopping trips into town, we usually walk to one of the nearby local stores in our neighborhood, which is in the front room of a house.   I walk up to the window, and if no one is there, I just call out, "¡Buenas tardes!" (Good afternoon!)

If Doña Lucy doesn't have the food I'm looking for, she will tell me, "I'll have it for you tomorrow!" and she will go buy it in town for me.  She only charges a few cents more than what I would pay in town.  What a deal!
