The perfect pre-train stop 
If you commute from East Dulwich train station, this is your perfect stop-off before climbing aboard a horrendously crammed train into central London. The shop is well stocked with mags and papers, an exotic range of smokes and drinks are also on hand, top-up your oyster card, and buy lethal looking kids toys.

Review of Avondale Mini Market

Porn, milk, beer and fags.. 
sounds like a perfect weekend! Well, it would be, but they're generally completely out of stock of at least 2 of the four staples of the corner shop. Quite often i've popped in to get some milk, and they had none left. Or they had a solitary can of Stella warming gently on a shelf. Or else a single packet of cigarettes. Clearly they have supply issues here, and I believe the main reason is the shop is slightly smaller than my bathroom so they probably have nowhere to put their stock. (I'd also like to point out my bathroom smells a lot better, well, most of the time). They never seem to run out of very cheap looking porn mags, of the 'reader's wives' variety. I don't buy porn here, but you can't help but see it on the shelf when that's the only thing they have left in the shop to buy. (As an aside, I don't understand how the printed porn industry is doing so well in smaller newsagents and service stations when surely the internet has cornered the market?!?) Anyway, even though the shop is tiny, surely they should have the basics in?
