Thanks. That may gene been why the bus never came this past Sunday. I was checking the schedule. Next time I'll check for snow issues. Especially since the phone service is closed on Sunday.

Sunday bus service is more spread out too. So, that could have been another reason.

Thanks again for your help!
If you are living anywhere remotely close to SU then the shuttle to Tops is really your only realistic option until you make friends with someone with a car.

The Wegmans in Fayetteville is worth the drive. I shopped at Tops (used to be P&C) my sophomore year, but I began driving to Wegman's my junior year and never stopped. Groceries are cheaper there and selection is much better. Tops stores have the same model as Safeway and Kroger as in they have marked up groceries that require a shoppers card for discount. Wegmans is like HEB as in what you see is what you pay for. Occasionally they will run deals, but you do not need a card to get them. Anyway, that Tops store next to south campus hardly ever runs deals because they don't need to. The vast majority of off campus students shop there. Their produce is also some of the worst I have seen.

Wegmans does have a Shoppers Card as well and you may/should use it anyway, IMO.

As it has been mentioned before, there's also the option of the Co-OP market on Kensington or if they can get a ride and if the OP lives where I think they live, try this market out too: Green Hills Farms
It can be a bit pricy, but there is some good/high quality stuff there. There is also an Aldi nearby.

There's also a few other markets on Erie Boulevard East not too far from campus as well.
