So I'm about to go shopping for my new apartment, what are some important things I should buy?

you will need an oven, ceiling lamps, a refrigerator, sometimes you even have to buy your own kitchen, sink included, then you will need curtains, lockers, a bed, chairs, tables, sometimes you need to buy new carpets as well, then you will need cleaning stuff, like brooms and stuff. You know, the basics.

A toilet plunger. No apartment is complete without one.

@ragingloli o_O wow…sounds harsh lol

A hoover.
A can opener.
A lighter.
A smoke- and carbon monoxide detector.
A nail cutter.
A big screen tv.
That’s all.

A microwave oven, toaster, cleaning supplies, mop, broom, toilet scruber, plunger, trash cans for kitchen and bathroom, light bulbs, lamps, a fan, silverware, glasses, coffee cups, dishes, a coffee maker or tea kettle, can opener, sponges and dish towels, bathroom towels, curtains if you do not have them supplied, or blinds, a telephone, and the basic furniture, bed, dresser, table, chairs, couch, TV, stereo, throw rugs, candles for power outtages, flashlight, bug spray, .....that should get you started. lol

A wall clock, a bath mat – inside if you don’t wanna slip and die, outside if you don’t wanna slip and die or get the floor all wet, a silverware holder, a mat to wipe your feet on before you go inside, possibly a shower curtain, a garbage can for the bathroom.

Slot head screwdriver
Phillips head screwdriver
Spare batteries (AAA or AA or whatever your devices require)

A towel is an absolute must. Most other stuff is optional. You can get a lot done with a towel.

A hammer. Not sure what devices @jaytkay is referring to that needs batteries. :-)

alarm clock
nails
first aid kit
maylox
asprins
rubbing alcohol
peroxide
light bulbs
bed sheets and blankets, depending on how cold it will get where you live
list of emergency numbers
laundry detergent

Thanks everyone!

@MrGV Your welcome. Best of luck. Oh, and as suggested, do get that plunger. It will come in handy at 2 am when you clog the toilet and now have to call for maintance to unclog it. LOL

Toilet Paper….and milk or beer

and your clothes n stuff

Flea defogger

Oven spray if it doesn’t have a self cleaning kind.

Lime Away spray

Shelf/Drawer liner paper

Picture hanging kit that has plastic expanding sleeves for nails to be screwed securely (more) into drywall.

Electric/Battery driven drill that has additional bits to become a screwdriver.

Big open mouth jar to put kitchen utensils in if you have a shortage of good drawers.

Big open mouth jar to put on bathroom counter to hold bars of soap and drape a hand towel from if you have little cabinet/drawer space or no hand towel bar/ring.

Batteries for smoke detectors.

Air Filters for a/c unit so you can change them once a month.

Bulk babywipes. They’re great for quick wiping down of toilet seat, lid & tank, counters and around baseboards and tight spaces between sweeping and mopping. I also use them with cream to wipe off makeup, wipe down my shoes & handbags and wipe window sills.

Add Dental Floss and Baby Powder to the list. they have endless uses!
