Wikimecum:Punto
The Punto (SMA) is a chain of grocery stores that operates throughout Italy. The Punto supermarkets carry food and basic necessities.
Location Near Arco
Because the Billa is located near the VPC, which is rather a long distance from Arco, it is more convenient to visit the smaller Punto store in Castello, lcated about five minutes away from the Arco apartments. The map on this page shows how to reach the Punto from Arco.
Selection and Prices
Though the selection is not as extensive as the Billa's, the Punto will have most things necessary for survival. Though the prices may be slightly higher than the Billa's, it is very convenient if you only need a few things. Pasta costs about 1,20 euro, a head of lettuce costs about 1 euro, and a bottle of olive oil costs about 2 euro.
To view a catalog of sales for the week, access the Punto SMA website and under VOLANTINI E OFFERTE there will be an image of a card, which says SMA: Piccoli Prezzi Super Convenienza. Click that card and the catalog for the week will appear.
Punto Card
You can get a card in order to receive discounts on items that are on sale. Cashiers will usually ask if you have one or would like one, so it should be easy to obtain one.
