Funny how things are meant to change from adolescence to adulthood including all the phases in between. One day you’re purchasing school stuff, the next day it’s all about the home of your very own.
So, you’re moving in now? Congratulations! I know how it thrills you to move out and live a new life with a new family and a new home. Maybe it’s your first time and first times are always exciting, but sometimes they’re meant to mess you up. So, make sure you have all the things you need for your first home.
This isn’t to say it has to be a one-day purchasing because shopping for home doesn’t happen overnight. Every purchase, especially those appliances that cost an arm and a leg, should be taken into full consideration. If the budget is tight, purchase an item or two at a time. Trust us, your home can wait.
Here’s an ultimate home checklist that covers all the essential and necessary stuff you need to spruce up and make the most of your new house.
Basic Essentials
- Toilet Paper
- Toiletries
- Trash Bag
- First Aid Kit
- Cleaning and laundry products
- Extra Light Bulbs – just in case you need one for sudden replacements
- Extra batteries – for smoke detectors
