One of the perks of living in the Hydrostone is the proximity to the Hydrostone Groceteria. It is one of the friendliest corner stores I've ever been to. Considering it's a corner store, one would expect higher prices for regular necessities that you could get at one of the larger grocery stores for much cheaper but the HG actually has a leg up on them with some things.
For example, breakfast cereal. While the selection isn't huge, they sell all of them for $3 a box. That includes Mini Wheats, something you usually pay $5 or more for unless they're on sale. Other canned and prepackaged items also can be surprisingly priced as well in comparison to other places. There's usually a sign outside the store with the weekly special but I'm pretty sure the prices for these items never changes.
While the store is pretty small and packed, there is surprisingly a lot of stuff in here. What you won't find is fresh produce and other uncommon items but there's a lot in the way of treats, like chocolate, candy and chips, plus quick supper food items, necessities, lotto, and whatever you'd expect at a corner store.
