You could check out the Dollar General Store in Carrboro Plaza for all your 
undergarment needs.  The CW Bus goes to the Carrboro Post Office, which is 
just across Hwy 54 from there.  That's also of course where the Carrboro ABC 
store lives, as well as Suds'n'Duds, the local laundromat/bar.

Or, if you're hankering for a foray to the Hill, there's always buses to U 
Mall and Rose's.
