Since out of high school I've been living with house mates my entire life. So I decided I wanted a place of my own recently and recently got an apartment. After so many years of shared housing it's almost like moving out of your parents house. There's a lot of shared appliances that I had/have to buy that was shared before (luckily the new place comes with washer/dryer and refrigerator). I also have a friend that recently moved so I grabbed his boxes after he was done with them. Check if anyone you know have boxes they can get rid of. Some things include: * Vacuum cleaner - Here's a cheapie that got great ratings in consumer reports (if you need/want a more expensive sucker Woot.com and TechBargains.com list Dyson and Roomba refurbs all the time) : http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-Widepath-Upright-Vacuum-U5140-900/dp/B0009ONZ8G/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top * Fire Extinguisher - Never buy online, these things aren't designed to be beat up via delivery, just pick one up at your local Target or similar store. * Kitchen Table Set - Ikea baby. * Office Stuff - Pens, Notepads, Staplers, Scotch Tape, Eletrical Tape, Duct Tape, Magazine Holders, Folders, etc.. * Couch - Still have to buy this and am annoyed my living room is probably too small to fit the couch I want. * TV Stand/TV - Obviously buy something within budget if TV watching/gaming is your thing. * Coffee Table - Remotes/Magazines other junk need to go somewhere when lounging around. * Bug Killers - Ant/Roach Traps, be proactive. * Kitchen Trash Can - In an apartment it's good to have one with a lid that will seal any odors since you're in a small area. * First Aid - Bandaids, Bandages, disinfectant, etc... * Tools - Screw drivers, hammers, wrenches, etc... * Bath cleaning products - Plungers, draino, bathroom brush, scented spray, tile cleaner, etc... * Welcome Mat - Dirty shoes on carpet suck. * Air Bed - If you already don't have one then they're awesome to keep at the place you haven't moved your bed to yet. Beyond moving they're great for guests and/or camping. Here's a queen sized air bed for $20 / free shipping via Walmart: http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/264081 Probably forgetting other things, will add them as I buy them. scarymonkey fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Aug 10, 2011 |
