Grocery Shopping at a Supermarket

You're picking up essentials at a supermarket and need help finding things.

Disculpe, ¿dónde están los productos lácteos?
dees-KOOL-peh, DOHN-deh ehs-TAHN lohs proh-DOOK-tohs LAHK-teh-ohs?
Excuse me, where are the dairy products?
"¿Dónde están los...?" is your go-to phrase for finding any section in a store.
Staff
Están en el pasillo cinco, al fondo.
ehs-TAHN en el pah-SEE-yoh SEEN-koh, ahl FOHN-doh.
They're in aisle five, at the back.
"Pasillo" means aisle. "Al fondo" means at the back — you'll hear this a lot in stores.
You
Gracias. ¿Dónde está la caja?
GRAH-syahs. DOHN-deh ehs-TAH lah KAH-hah?
Thanks. Where is the checkout?
"La caja" literally means "the box" but in a store context it always means the cash register or checkout.
Cashier
Son doscientos treinta pesos. ¿Necesita bolsa?

That's two hundred thirty pesos. Do you need a bag?
Many Latin American countries now charge for plastic bags. Bringing your own bag is appreciated.
