I live in Madison WI, and intend to move out of the house and get an appartment (~$700/mo.) with a friend, starting this summer. We’ve worked out how much to spend on monthly costs (rent, utilities, and weekly groceries), but we will need to buy a whole bunch of stuff as soon as (or before) we move in. That means that we’ll have to shell out a large amount of money all at once, which requires planning.
Such things include: Plates, glasses, and utensils; kitchen knives and tools; a stock of imperishable food; toilet plunger; toolbox; cleaning supplies; and other little things like that.
We’ve already accounted for furniture and the security deposit.
How much would you estimate these costs to total up to?
Thanks.
