Mercadona

There are some quirky things in the grocery stores here that you don't see in the US. Cans and bottles of soda and beer come in 6 packs, but you don't have to buy the whole 6 pack. You can pop out the individual cans and buy them one by one if you so choose. This is a 5 pack of Coke Zero that was formerly a 6 pack. 


Also, I had never heard of Coke Light before but it is everywhere. While I haven't tried it yet, I am told it tastes like Diet Coke but a little sweeter. 


The name of the store is Mercadona and it is a convenient 30 second walk from the school. I go there every Monday and buy a 12 pack of Magdalenas (sugary muffins) for the cool price of 60 euro cents. The only negative is that you have to pay for a plastic bag when you check out if you want one. The bags only cost 2 cents each, but I was not aware that they cost money, which lead to an awkward exchange with the cashier.
