What are some familiar grocery shops in the area?
FSU apartments are next to several familiar grocery stores, including Publix, Wal-Mart, Target and Whole Foods. The Wal-Mart closest to FSU is a Supercenter, which means a huge stock of groceries and other convenient services, like a hair salon, optical store and tire/oil changes. If you have many errands to run at once, a Wal-Mart Supercenter is a useful resource to have just a few minutes away from home. The closest Target is not a SuperTarget but still has plenty of great weekly deals on groceries. Publix, however, can be a good option for more obscure and special flavors of items, including larger stocks of organic items.

This can lead to forgotten items with expired dates or food waste until you get used to the amount of food you need. Make a grocery checklist before heading to the store and try to stick to it with only minor variations. Before you go grocery shopping, take a quick inventory of your stock, making note of what you already have and throwing out any expired items.
