Spanish Five and Dimes Stores
Does anyone know of Spanish equilivant to Woolworths Walmart (Tescos), in other words a five and dime store. I stopped by El Corte Inglés today to pick up a spaula and was shocked at the prices cheapest one was 8€ I never spent more than 2-3 in Germany
Normally I would pick something up at Wallmart (or wallymart as I like to say) or Woolco, but I havn't found either here.
thanks

Try "Super Cien (100)" shops, or shops with a similar name. Used to be everything under 1 peseta, now 1 euro (ie. 100 cents)...

They sell most things very very cheap.
I don't know if they are in any other areas.

Re: Spanish Five and Dimes Stores
Does anyone now of anything in the centre of Madrid. I have found a few stores but nothing that is close to Woolworths.
