Al canto
Voy al supermercado al canto.
Does this makes sense? Is this expression 'al canto' often used? I've never heard it used before... |

I've never heard it in use. Apparently it can have a few different meanings. One that makes sense in this context is "immediately".
Voy al supermercado al canto. = I'll go to the grocery store right now.
