Here’s a sample of what you can buy at SAV-ON FOODS, our somewhat campus grocery store that specializes in selling random bulk items at a discount price, for your everyday needs. Sometimes what they sell is a little absurd, but that’s half the fun. And to help you out, we made some strange shopping lists for the typical college student. Oh, and because we understand you are probably short on cash, you can get all of this for under $29.00
Who says we don’t have a grocery store on campus?

You moved into your own place, and apparently that means you’re an adult now. So you need stock up on Tide Pod capsules to wash the dishes, cook (more like microwave) things like soup and bake cookies for the neighbors—which we’re pretty sure adults do. (OK. We admit we know nothing about
being adults.)
