So, downside to living in Sackville, the lack of development makes it hard to pick up everything you need right in town, but fear not! All of the simple bear nessecities are just a walk away to either Jean Coutu (drug store), RadioShack (electronics stuff) and a Save-Easy (groceries). But try to bring as much of what you need with you, because if you forget to bring underwear, especially at the start of the year, there is a chance that places will be fresh out and if you are coming from somewhere outside of the Maritimes, it could take awhile to ship some new ones to you, and it takes a long time (but not forever) until your room mate trusts you enough to borrow his... not that anyone would do that... unless they had too... But seriously, call your room mate and coordinate what you will bring! Believe me, there isn't quite enough room, or need for two TVs, stereos, fridges or microwaves if you choose, etc.
Once little side note: the Stedman's in Sackville closed down this past year, but a mico-mall (yes, a micro-mall, cause it makes Mini-Malls look like an Arabian bazaar!) is going in. At the moment I have no idea as to what's in it besides Frenchy's thrift store and Radio Shack on the street front. Hopefully it'll be full of useful shops when the years starts up again in September.
