Young Couple, Starting out together..

May 3rd, 2008 at 03:08 am

So, the boyfriend and I have decide to move in together. And while he has been busy, I have been looking for places to live four us. I think I have found the starter home, and ev if its a rental. It gives us some time to be alone, before adding on a roommate. But until I get that final "Yes, the house is yours". I have started some little things to try and save money. Cause we will need food and dishes, etcetc. First, I have been picking up the sundays paper and clipping out coupons and storing them away. That way we can save as much money on food as possible. I have also been putting away money to the side from each paycheck to account for buying dishes, pots and pans and the basic home needs to cook dinner, sleep etcetc. And lastly I have been working on a budget to accommadate for the bills that we will incurr. I have been doing overtime here and there to add extra to savings and monthly needs. for now thats is all I got...... Anyone got any ideas

    Good for you, making a plan before setting up house.

    Garage sale season is coming up, so that might be one place to look for household basics at bargain prices.

    And welcome to the Saving Advice blogs!

    I was thinking of having one myself. Is mother is giving uss a lot of stuff and most of it we wont need. Like she has hutch's wit dishes for display. But I have personally never seen the point of this. So between the stuff I have from when I did live on my own, and his crap and the stuff is mother is giving us. We need to sale some things figure it will be a nice way to gain some extra cash.

    Thrift stores & consignment furniture stores make an excellent place for those just starting out to find beginning furniture & decor items.

    So you have plan and the plan sounds great! Congratulations to both you and your boyfriend. I just wanted to add a little not here. You might wana try looking to buy stuff online. There are exclusive offers on the internet that you don't find on local stores. Some would ship free too. Sure that takes like 10 days to arrive but still, you save up not only shipping money but you get good quality stuff cheaper than the regular price Smile
    GOOD LUCK!
