Move in is the next few weeks. I've lived on my "own" (roommate I never interacted with) for a couple months my last semester of college, but that was a temporary setup whereas I'm hopefully moving out for good this time.

Bear in mind that the place has window/wall A/C and electric heating.

Things I'm already considering:

  • Drain guard
  • Bidet
  • Cold brew coffee maker
  • Rice cooker
  • Space heater? I'd like to keep the temp largely down during the winter to save money while warming up the part of the place I'm in
  • Key for washer/dryer

Things I already have:

  • Most furniture
  • Air fryer
  • Seltzer water thingy
  • Meal prep containers

General advice is also welcome!

    Hmm that's a good note on the space heater.

    The coffee maker I'm looking at is only like $30 and I'll make that back in the money I save not buying premade concentrate pretty quick

    I actually have a Drinkmate which isn't connected to Israel afaik! I think the canisters are still Sodastream but I'm working on finding a local homebrew shop that will refill them for cheap compared to swapping them out at target or something

      Drinkmate is not israeli.

      And you can get their canisters (you can even trade Sodasteam canisters for their ones).

      I love my drinkmate, seltzer good.

      Grab a 5lb CO2 tank from the home brew shop, and a little adapter for sodastream canisters. Easy to fill up at home and you only need to refill the big tank every 5 or 6 refills of the small one. Super cheap as well (and te money goes to your hbs).
