The University of Alabama Supply Store

What can I say, I worked at the SUPe store for nearly a year as a student worker. They have great Bama apparel and merchandise as well as textbooks. I bought most of my textbooks there, and they really aren't any more overpriced than any of the other bookstores in the area (though the Off-campus book store, new when I graduated, should be handy). They also have art supplies, mailing envelopes, pens and pencils, and those are relatively affordable. It was very convenient to run into the SUPe store to get a drink or a snack at the Ferg, or get an envelope and walk across to the post office to mail it. Their prices on snacks and such are a lot cheaper than upstairs in the food area, and they accept bama cash and dining dollars as well. Ah, good times! I miss UA. more

I spent 4 years of my life within the walls and halls of UA, and during that time I always bought my books at the SUPE Store as it is called by the students. They have affordable supplies and good buy back prices. They are also owned by the University. Now I admit somtimes textbook prices are ridiculus, but they have supplies as well. You can get everything from a Bic Stick to a Cross pen, a Jansport to a Columbia bag. The staff will also take time to help you find books that you need, and if they are out they will get you on a list to get them when they come in. more
