Grocery
Where I live the common word for grocery store in Spanish is bodega.
I suspect that this is the word commonly used in Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo groceries. Recently in a book I'm reading I saw that the word ultramarino was used for grocery. In the dictionary I saw grocery defined as abacería. I suppose tienda or almacén can always be used, but what is the word that people from Spanish-speaking countries use for such stores? I suspect that different countries use different words. A I right?

Bodega in Spain is where wine is made and matured.
The local grocery store would be tienda o ultramarinos. You'd find the latter on the sign but people don't generally say they're going to the ultramarinos but to la tienda.

In Mexico, at least with my experiences in the Yucatan, it's called a "súper," short for "súper mercado." In these súper you can find a lot of things other than groceries, and the grocery section is usually labeled on the store map, "abarrotes."

En España se dice tienda cuando es un local pequeño, de barrio; si es un local grande, se denomina súper o supermercado (o hiper si es muy grande). Ultramarinos es un nombre que se usaba antiguamente, pero hoy en día nadie lo utiliza ya. Hay bodegas en las que se vende vino y, en ocasiones, alguna otra cosa, aunque no son bodegas utilizadas para la fermentación, tan sólo como tienda.

En México "ultramarinos" se refiere a alimentos importados como jamones curtidos, latas, conservas, quesos madurados...
Los "groceries" se pueden comprar en una tienda de abarrotes (más bien pequeña y especializada en alimentos), o en un supermercado ("súper", en coloquial). Si la tienda pequeña está organizada en pasillos y estantes, y vende más que abarrotes, puede llamársele "minisúper". Las bodegas no son tiendas, sino lugares donde se almacena. "Almacén" se usa a veces como sinónimo de bodega, pero en general es más para las grandes tiendas de departamentos, que venden ropa, joyería, pefrumería, electrodomésticos, electrónicos...

The plural groceries is used in Britain to mean Alimentación
I am going to the supermarket to buy some groceries. Voy al supermercado para comprar alimentación. We could also say I am going to the grocer's to buy groceries |
