Student grocery planning

A grocery page for international students in Lincoln who need the basics to work

Roj Market is a practical stop for students near Lincoln who want affordable staples, familiar flavors, and enough category depth to cook from one weekly trip instead of constant small runs.

Use this page when budget matters, kitchen space is limited, and you need ingredients that support fast meals with minimal waste.

Useful for small kitchens, tight budgets, and short shopping windowsStrong staple coverage for rice, lentils, tea, spices, and canned goodsPairs with deeper student grocery planning content on the blog

Build a student pantry with overlap

The best student grocery list is short and repeatable. Rice, lentils, chickpeas, tomato paste, cooking oil, garlic, onions, tea, and two or three versatile spices can cover far more meals than a cart full of disconnected ingredients.

Designed for efficient trips

Students often shop between classes, after work, or without much storage at home. This page points you to the broad categories first, then gives you a path into more detailed meal-planning and budgeting guidance.

FAQ

Common questions before the trip

Do you accept EBT?

Yes, we accept EBT for eligible in-store grocery purchases. As with any retailer, eligibility depends on the item category and current program rules, so prepared non-eligible products cannot be processed on EBT. If you are planning a larger cart and want to avoid checkout surprises, call first and ask about the items you plan to buy. We can walk through common pantry categories like rice, lentils, beans, canned staples, and similar essentials so you can shop faster once you arrive.

Do you take phone inquiries for stock?

Yes. Phone stock checks are encouraged, especially for hard-to-find ingredients, brand-specific requests, and larger quantity purchases. This is the fastest way to confirm whether a product is currently available before driving over. It is also useful during seasonal demand spikes, when popular items can move quickly between deliveries. If you call with your recipe or shopping list, we can often recommend substitutes when an exact item is out, so you still leave with workable ingredients. For quickest help, call during non-peak hours when staff can check shelves immediately.

Are you open every day?

Yes. Roj Market is open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, including weekends. Extended evening hours are helpful for customers who shop after work, students near the University of Nebraska-Lincoln area, and families doing larger meal prep later in the day. During high-demand seasons such as Ramadan and Eid shopping weeks, traffic can increase significantly in the evening, so calling ahead for specific items is smart. The address is 4640 Bair Ave Suite 214, Lincoln, NE 68504, with easy access from nearby residential neighborhoods.
