<p>I didn't know how to word it but you know, things like soap, shampoo, linens, towels, toothbrushes, clocks, hairspray, contact cleaning liquid, sunblock, combs/brushes, random stuff like that. </p>
<p>Is there anywhere on campus that sells those things (but would it be a ripoff there)? </p>
<p>Where do Berkeley students go off campus to buy those types of things?
Is there like one store that many students like because of price/variety?</p>
<p>There is Walgreens, CVS, and Target. These stores carry all the items you listed.</p>
<p>Target probably has the best prices out of the three listed there, but it’s furthest away. If you have access to a car it’s no problem getting there though. Stock up on stuff from your ‘beginning of school’ Target trip so you don’t have to buy a ton of stuff from the very overpriced Walgreens. But, you’ll still end up buying plenty of stuff from there throughout the year.</p>
<p>Oh, thank you very much, stevenboi27 and ringopuppers. I’ll make sure to stock up at the beginning…I don’t have a car/can’t drive. :/</p>
<p>Where will you be living? I lived in Unit 3 for two years and got basically everything from Walgreens (it’s in that one block between campus and unit 3). It’s also pretty close to Units 1 and 2.</p>
<p>Amazon.com</p>
<p>Getting to Target is very easy by bus. I would suggest taking the F bus to the Target in Emeryville. It is very easy to get to compared to the Albany Target. It will take approximately 30-40 minutes to get there.</p>
<p>I’m in Stern! I’ll probably go see the Walgreens (thank you, flutterfly_28).</p>
<p>And thank you for the tip, stevenboi27!!</p>
<p>I second slorg’s excellent advice. Sign up for Amazon Student to get free shipping, then you buy many necessities at a lower price on Amazon and have them shipped with two day express to your dorm for free. </p>
<p>[Amazon</a> Student](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info]Amazon”>http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info)</p>
<p>Also they often have great prices on textbooks, also ship free under Amazon Student, which you qualify for as a Cal student</p>
<p>Amazon is amazing for things you can wait the 2 days for, but for things you need NOW…obviously Walgreens.</p>
