If you live near a college, it’s currently move out season so be on the lookout for cheap/free stuff.

I live near a pretty big university and every start of summer there is always a flooding on fb marketplace free and for sale groups with stuff college kids are trying to get rid of. A lot of it is usually less than a year old. I’ve gotten great sets of cooking gear, electronics, and even furniture. It can definitely be a mixed bag of quality since most of the stuff is cheap, but I still think it can be super worth, especially if you’re moving in someplace new, can get whole apartment starter kits basically with all the stuff being given away and thrown out.
