To find the total time it takes to get to the grocery store, we first calculate the total distance you walk.

1. Walk 800 m North
2. Walk 600 m East
3. Walk 200 m South

Now, we can add up the distances:

- Total distance = 800 m + 600 m + 200 m = 1600 m

Next, you are walking at a speed of 2 m/s. We can use the formula for time:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]

Now plug in the values:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{1600 \text{ m}}{2 \text{ m/s}} = 800 \text{ s}
\]

Therefore, the total time it will take you to get to the store is **800 s**.
