Twenty Something Too...Much?

By Christina Horn & Tangie Lambert

Everyone on the Stillwater campus has been to or at least heard about the convenient store the "Twenty Something Two", but have you ever compared the prices from there to say...Wal-Mart?  A box of Corn Pops Cereal at Wal-Mart is priced at $1.50 for a 12 oz. box.  Guess how much at the 22 something 2? $5.99!!!  That's 4x over the price at Wal-Mart!  No wonder our Meal Plans swiftly disappear.  Everything is over priced here on campus.  We know they have to make money to, but not at the expense of ripping off the sterotypr of the "poor college student".  What happens to the students that need groceries but don't have cars to take them to Wal-Mart or any other grocery store? Are they just at the mercy of over-priced products?  And when their Meal Plan is low because of the unnecessarily high prices, what are they supposed to do for food?
