In Spanish, bread is called pan. Bakeries are called panaderias. We've been buying many, many bags of fresh rolls whenever we find a panaderia, but sometimes we still run out. (We eat a lot.)
Then we discovered that the annoying horn-tooting sound circulating in our neighborhood around 5:00 every day was a pan vendor, vending pan. (There are street side vendors for everything, and there are vendors pushing carts or riding on motorcycles delivering to neighborhoods.) I ran out with my purse and asked how much it cost. There were some sweet rolls that were a bit pricier, but the basic rolls we all love were 10 for a sol. So I bought some, and we all had fresh bread for dinner.
The vendors were literally pan-handlers.

Glad you found a source for daily bread!

I love how God provided for your need. How much is the American equivalent for one sol?
The exchange rate fluctuates, but it seems to be about s/3.2 = $1. So one sol is about $0.30.
