Move in day is just around the corner and you may have started lightly searching for around-the-house items for your new apartment! It can be costly purchasing all new items so start taking advantage of thrift shops and Goodwill, sometimes these places will have hidden treasures.
Here are some places to purchase apartment supplies that are in the budget for college students.
Habitat Restore:
I have found mirrors, tables, couches, chairs, etc. here! It’s a great place and if you’re looking for a cheap table or couch there’s bound to be a decent one for a cheap price.
TJ Maxx/Marshalls:
These two stores are my go-to stores for anything. I have bought purses to formal dresses to bedding for my college dorm here and it all has been great quality and a great price. They also have a great assortment of kitchen supplies and an awesome clearance section.
Target:
Who doesn’t love Target… You can get all your back to school necessities in one trip! Items for your apartment, clothes, and school supplies. It has just about everything you could want.
Craigslist:
Looking for furniture? Craigslist is the place to go! You’re very likely to find a bedroom set of furniture for really cheap that you can easily repaint or stain if you’d like.
It’s difficult picking out color schemes for bedrooms and finding cheap furniture on a college budget, but definitely do-able with a little bit of research and utilizing these stores. I’ve looked at all these places and found cheap, good quality furniture that I am using for my apartment this fall.
