  4. Oasis Mediterranean Market
  5. Lombardi’s Italian Market
  6. CNY Regional Farmers Market 

As well as your traditional Wegmans, Price Chopper, Tops..ect. 

If you want to purchase items in bulk form or in larger quantities, you may purchase a membership at BJs Wholesale Club or Costco. You can also get additional member services at Wholesale Clubs, such as reduced price gasoline, etc.

Furniture

There are some great inexpensive choices for purchasing furniture. First, and foremost, ask around and watch your emails for sales from graduating house staff. Some of the best deals come from those that need to relocate and do not want the expense of moving their larger items.

Most of the larger local furniture retailers, such as Raymour & Flanigan, Dunk & Bright, China Towne, etc. have bargain areas or clearance centers. Some are part of the store, and some are in separate locations, for example Raymour & Flanigan Syracuse Clearance Center.

Keep in mind that many household items can be purchased at local department stores, such as JC Penney, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc. Another great bargain source is Marshalls or TJ Maxx, who offer name brands at a fraction of the cost. These places are great for accent furniture and house wares.

Shopping

There are many shopping centers within the immediate Syracuse area:

  • Destiny USA
  • Towne Center
  • Shoppingtown Mall
  • Great Northern Mall

For those that prefer outlet malls, you can make a trip to Waterloo Prime Outlet Mall, which is located about 45 minutes West on the Thruway in Waterloo.
