<prompt> Human: This would be with one other roomate, I am a current college student and I am looking for a place to rent. However, I was hoping someone on reddit could help me out with some inside perspective on what I should do and how I should do it.  <response>: When I moved in to my first apartment, I forgot how much stuff I would need. It wasnt big stuff that I forgot, like a bed or a couch, no, it was little stuff you never think about: garbage cans, all the dishescutlery, cooking utensils, trash bags, cleaning supplies, dish towels, mirrors, basic pantry and freezer stuff!You should remember to budget about 100 dollars for misc. apartment stuff. Thankfully many things can be bought second hand and dishes from the dollar store are a great money saver, and it will be nice to have a roommate to help cover these bases.With my roommate we also set aside 10 each per month for basic apartment things to be restocked flour, salt, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. Its a small expense but it helps things to run more smoothly if it isnt ad hoc because one person may end up buying way more of it than the other, which is unfair.
