<prompt> Human: A week before Christmas this year we had a house fire that destroyed pretty much everything the insurance company came in and declared the whole house a total loss with everything inside it. We have full replacement value and are working with a public adjuster who will inventory, calculate, determine cost, etc, etc. I havent been back to the house since. We lost our two dogs who were basically my kids, if you are an animal parent and not a real parent, you know what I mean when I say that.To make a long story short, I am trying to figure out a budget to replace things. We are in temporary housing for a year and have temporary furniture rental for at least 9 months. I want to start to pick things up here and there, so come September I will have what I need when the furniture rental company collects their things.I have been looking at estate sales, looking at Craigslist, and of course in stores. We havent bought anything yet because honestly Ive been too busy just trying to find us clothes and bedding, but I cant put this off and I need to have a game plan. For financial reasons and for my sanity to feel like Im doing something.So just looking for ideas of what to spend, what to buy usednew, etc.I feel like we just accumulated all of our stuff over the past ten years and hell, some of it were things Ive had since college.Thanks  <response>: Estate sales are a good place to look for cheap kitchen stuff in good shape - pots, pans, dish sets, etc. Keep in mind, everything you buy is something youre going to have to hassle with moving later. Id buy the bare minimum until youre settled into your new, permanent place. Things you buy now might not fit well into the new place. But, you can still go window shopping, making a list of things you like and their prices for when the time comes. Might help you budget it all out better in the end.
