Grocery shopping

Spain isn't very vegetarian friendly so I was mildly worried about finding legit food here. I was able to get a bunch of great food so it doesn't look like it will be much of an issue with me making food. Marvelous.

One of the first things I bought was a coffee maker and coffee for my apartment so that I could continue with my intense coffee addiction. I will still be frequenting a cafe for some cafe con leche.
I found a grocery store pretty close to me and went grocery shopping for the first time.

The milk is semi-questionable. It does not need to be refrigerated so it just...sits out? No se. It was sitting out at the store but I'll be putting mine in the fridge. They also seem to not refrigerate their eggs at the grocery store so I'm not sure what that's all about. I've been eating bread, cheese and tomato sandwiches and I had tortilla one day.
I also bought some yogurt, a baguette, strawberry jam for the cookies, tortilla (maybe in the US we say "Spanish omelet"?) and a few fruit items and tomatoes. I was very happy to find couscous and vegetable broth. The cans are peas and carrots. I also bought cheese tortellini, a pasta mix, pasta and tomato sauce.
