There is one a mile from me, and I can ride my bike over fairly easily. One
of those "neighborhood grocery" stores. I feel dirty when I go in it, but
they have Bertolli marina spag sauce for only $1.99 (Kroger et al are $3.29
or more.) They also have good price on Sabra hummus... It's kinda odd
place, workers there never look very happy and the store has that industrial
warehouse feel with not very bright lighting. And there are never very many
customers in it. It's kinda depressing. Though it is clean.

Last week, I asked someone working there if they had Matzo, and you could
tell she had no idea what that was and just pointed me toward the aisle with
Ritz crackers.
