We don’t have a grocery store in my village and we don’t have any tiny little tuck shops where you just go up to a window and ask for things, but we do have the general store. The general store is attached to the one and only bar in our village, so the yard is usually well occupied with drunk people. The general store has a wide variety of things. They carry bread, sugar, maize meal, samp (pounded maize), soda, sweets, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, frozen meats, toilet paper, condoms, soaps, airtime, etc. Since we don’t have refrigeration, I typically go to the general store for a cold beverage (usually fanta) on a hot day and airtime to recharge my phone.
