<p>There’s bed bath and beyond in Fenway, which is an easy walk and a cheap taxi back. They also do a good job of stocking up and organizing for move-in weekend, so it’s a good bet.</p>
<p>There’s also a True Value hardware/home store on mass ave, but it doesn’t have much of the dormy stuff you’ll be looking for.</p>
<p>Also, neuchimie is right, the nearest target is pretty empty, I went on the 2nd and every single decently priced coffee maker was sold out. By now it’s probably not worth the trip.</p>
