No on campus, but there's a fortinos not far from campus as well as 2 or 3 metros not far from campus.

There's Union Market and My Mini Mac in Keyes, but I'm pretty sure it's just basic snacks/groceries only =/

Best thing is to get on a 1A or 5C bus, Eastbound (there's a No Frills about 5 minutes from campus that way).

Fortino's is basically a 15 minute walk from campus.
Metro is slightly farther.

5 minutes? Try 25 minutes on the bus to No Frills.  |

Lol I buy WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too much when I go to no frills. The prices are just too good for me (compared to Fortinos) so I always make sure I get my bf to drive me down. Then we spend some quality time shopping and I go crazy over inexpensive products I never buy and we go back with tons of food.
I wish they would have more boxes to put groceries in though. The on near my house in toronto always has loads.

Depends on the (time of) day for the Main Street one. I usually make it worthwhile in the same way as does Duarch. A once-a-month trip usually holds me over for groceries, and makes the bus ride (which takes like twice as long coming back thanks to weird routing) nearly bearable. |

That's'd definitely be awesome! I might just forget No Frills for that and go to Metro instead

5B goes right in and 5A goes by (about a 100 m walk into the store). |

Yeah, I don't see a point in the shuttle then. I think it's a waste of resources. How lazy can you be to walk 10 minutes to the bus stop (from the student centre) and take a bus?
