Ghostsauce posted:Any recommendations for ISP and HD TV bundles? I'm leaning towards fiber, and since I can't get FiOS i'm looking at UVerse. See if you can get an internet-only package with unlimited data, or at least oodles of data. Cable is really really really overpriced in terms of what you use to what you pay for. Do you really need 135 channels when you only watch Discovery Channel, TNT and NBC? I have seen people get a 3G or 4G cell phone with unlimited data (those plans exist) and then not get a single other utility. Netflix + patching your laptop through the phone is plenty and costs like $100 per month, whereas cable + land line + internet + cell phone can be much, much more. What I'm trying to say is that you don't necessarily need the HDTV + HBO + Netflix + Fiber + Land line + Cell Phone plethora of entertainment utilities that everyone seems to assume they need.

Comstar posted:Also, whats the opinion on getting a washer-dryer, instead of two separate machines for washing clothes and then drying them? What about dryers that don't need a ventilation shaft and put all the evaporated water into a tub you empty manually? On a related note, a washer/dryer at a garage sale or craigslist costs about the same as three months heavy laundromat usage. If you have the option and apartments are comparatively priced, a washer/dryer is much more economical. Edit: \/\/ and much much less of a pain in the rear end.

One Sick Puppy posted:This is a pretty awesome thread and very helpful, so I hope I'm not stepping out of line in bringing this thread back to attention Are you in college? Go to the art department or art majors and buy paintings for dirt cheap. They'll probably look like crap, but any color is better than bare white walls. Alternatively, go to garage sales. I bought a giant tacky painting of an abstract vagina that was a huge hit at parties. Another idea is to buy big cloth wall hangings. Like a quilt, or any colorful cloth really. Just tack it up to the wall. You can also buy large book shelves. Ikea has some huge square ones with lots of little cubbyholes without a back. Fill in those little cubbyholes with books and decorative doodads to your heart's content.
