Scheler’s Food Mart

It’s a convenience store so it’s really only good for grabbing the fundamental basics to get you through until you can venture out to the grown up grocery store.
The prices are ridiculous and the selection is minimal (as is to be expected when convenience is the priority). That’s how it works. You need toilet paper right this minute? That’ll be $ 17.99 and you’ll want to make sure that any children you may have are not included in the purchase agreement. (For you literalists out there, that was an exaggeration. I don’t remember how much the toilet paper was exactly, but it wasn’t cheap. I took some literary liberties there.)
Supposedly, the neighborhood can be a little sketchy. I grew up around here so I’m pretty attuned to the crazy. You may want to carry some pepper spray, though, just in case some desperate fiend decides to mug you for your overpriced Charmin and freeze dried coffee.

Oy. This is one of «those» places…
Here is the good thing about it: it’s convenient. If you live in the area, it’s a nice quick place to grab a couple of the necessities that you forgot without having to make a trip to a real grocery store. And they sell beer, cigarettes, and lotto tickets.
Aside from that, it’s a crappy little store. Prices are high, there isn’t much selection on anything, and the customers are a bit creepy. Add that to the fact that it’s in a neighborhood in which I would not walk alone at night, and it’s a place I’d prefer to avoid. If it weren’t convenient to me, I’d never go here. And when I do, never for more than one or two items.
