What I Regret Buying For My First Apartment

I wouldn’t say I regret any specific item, but I REALLY regretted not purging as much unnecessary things as possible before I moved. I had bought all these storage shelves and book shelves to store these things and then when I got rid of literally 60% of my stuff I realized I had all this furniture I no longer needed. Pro tip: declutter the crap out of your belongings BEFORE moving. Youll be happy you did.

I regret buying my apartment for my first apartment.

If you need more Tupperware, get glass ones! They last so much longer and you can microwave them. Costco usually has nice sets of glass ones for like $19.99!! :)

Moving your clothes on hangers is EASY if you use trash bags as garment bags

I bought an "expensive" set of flatware and am thoroughly pleased with my decision! It's been 35 yrs now and their still going strong, not an issue with anything. They're a classic design (can go traditional or modern) from Mikasa purchased at Macy's, I will be passing them on to my grandchildren : ) So don't despair Sophia, the only thing I would be unsure of is the 'Gold' color. "Tupperware" ideas: Reuse yogurt, cottage cheese, butter containers that have good lids and they're free with purchase of the item. My firm suggestion for anyone starting out is to buy quality, it will last so long it will amaze you. I have towels 30 yrs old and just now starting to look their age. But don't buy expensive just because it costs a lot, buy quality -- value.

As someone who's worked retail, if you need boxes go to your mall! Often times stores would get a shipment and have a TONNNNN of boxes & honestly we were always willing to give them away. (One less thing to worry about in the store)

Kinda late to this video but I hope someone sees this! A really great place to get boxes is shoe stores. I work at a shoes store and we throw away at least 50 moving-sized boxes a week. If you go in and ask one of the workers they will probably just give them to you!

Another great way to get Tupperware is saving (and washing) plastic take-out boxes and any plastic containers that your food comes in in the grocery store! (Like sandwich meats often come in plastic containers) it’s a great way to save money cause you already bought the item and it helps reduce waste!! It’s also great if you want to package food for your friends cause you don’t need to ask for it back cause you didn’t buy them!!

Lol I moved into my first apartment recently and was saving all my amazon boxes and other package boxes and my moms boxes and I had duffle bags . I was not willing to spend money on boxes. But also you can go to the grocery store and ask for the boxes and they give them to you for free. My friend did that with their move. Also when I moved I switched the type of WiFi I was going for and now saving $17 a month and I’m getting higher speed with Disney+ for free for a whole year.

You can get free boxes at liquor stores also! It’s really nice for wine glasses or other glassware because they come with separators

I have been obsessed with your channel. I feel so prepared for my first appartment! This is So helpful!

I hope you don’t get tired of making these. I’m about to move into my first apartment and these are life savers thank you so much!

9:58 When the parchment paper runs out you should get a silicon baking mat. They last basically forever, seriously cut down on waste, save tons of money in the long run and as long as you get the right size they will perfectly fit your tray!

Sorry if this makes you feel uneasy, but with that security stick thing that you put on your door, I had one on the front door to keep our roommate that did not pay rent out of the house once he “unofficially”officially moved out. And one day he came back and tried to use his key to open the front door and obviously didn’t work because that stick was on it, but with him ramming into the door a good hard three times he was able to still bust in and he also broke the security chain lock off the door as well

SO happy to see security things featured !! Yes!! As a woman I always think of these things, glad I'm not the only one. New subscriber here <3 love your videos
