Does anyone know where I can get the cheapest all-cotton sheets and comforters and such? If I order from cornell, it’s 200 bucks for sheets, comforter, towels, etc. I just need the following for myself: • XL twin sheet set • XL twin bed-in-a-bag • Twin reversible comforter • Study pillow (with arms) • Foam twin mattress pad If anyone got something at a specific site and loved it, it’d be nice if you’d respond. Also, I can probably go to a wal-mart or something. Thanks. ---

Check at Target and Walmart - I was at both of them this morning and noticed that both have XL twin sheets (I notice because it’s a sign to me that we’re coming up on back to school). JC Penny also had some - I was looking for some new sheets for myself and a mother and daughter were there looking for some. Those were the cotton jersey ones - I love them to sleep on. ---

You can also check at amazon - a quick search for XL Twin sheets turned up one item, but there are likely more (and on redoing the search I can’t seem to find the item again, but I know it was there!) THe [JCP](http://www0.jcpenney.com/jcp/ProductList.aspx?deptid=7107&catid=16252&cattyp=LFS&refpage=CategoryHom&PCat=CAMPUS+SHOP&SCat=sleep-xl+twin+bed&dep=for+the+home&PCatID=15914) ones are here (if the link doesn’t work, go to [jcpenney.com](http://jcpenney.com), go to “home”, then there’s a link for dormitory stuff on the bottom left. From there there’s a link to XL twin bedding). ---

I just found a new mall 20 mins from my house that has both Target and Bed Bath & Beyond. I’ve asked a couple of friends and they said those stores were good. Guess I’m gonna go dorm shopping next weekend. ---

Sears was having a sale this past weekend, and I noticed that they had XL twin sheet sets for like 10 bucks. A big bin of em. Might be worth checking out. Actually, I could be wrong, because I was mostly concentrating on not looking like a perv in the ladies underwear section while my girlfriend looked for unmentionables. ---

Got mine at **Bed, Bath and Beyond**. (My grandmother offered to buy me one extravagant item for college so I bought 440 thread count sheets!) ---

Bed Bath and Beyond should be well catered to future dorm dwellers this time of year. They certainly were last year when I got just about everything I needed. (Translation: They carry the sheets) ---
