Why do you use 'alguin in this sentence? Do you want anything from the shop? Because it says you cant use algo with a noun and shop is a noun.

ajguin or algo?
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using algo to say something or anything in Spanish"

Hola Sandra
When we say you can't use algo with a noun, we are referring to a noun right after, i.e with algo acting as an adjective. At the end of the lesson we have this example to illustrate how algo can't be used with a noun:
Prefiero algo libro de aventuras. (incorrect)
Prefiero algún libro de aventuras. (correct)
I prefer some adventure book.
You can say for example:
Quiero algo para comer.
I want something to eat.
Quiero algún plato rico para comer.
I want some tasty dish to eat.
But you can't say:
Quiero algo plato rico para comer.
I hope these examples clarify the difference.
Saludos
Inma
