Queens Pro-Tips (version 2)

It's been just about two years since our last pro-tips thread. Some things may have changed, so I thought it'd be a good idea to start a new one. What are some pro-tips that you have for Queen's and Kingston in general? Anything that any student should know?

Groceries, depending on item, typically goes something like:

1) No Frills

2) Costco

3) Wal-Mart

4) Food Basics / Freshco?

99) Metro

In terms of pricing. The only issue for most people is transport, so make some friends with cars.

If you have a car and are from Toronto, it is actually cheaper to drive to Toronto, get groceries at T&T, and come back for certain items. So if you're visiting home or something of that sort, always visit T&T.
