Previously on back to school on a budget, we talked about the latest styles and how to get them on a budget. This time we have a similar topic. For many students, going to back to school means living away from home for the first time. Dorm room furniture and other necessities can add up pretty quickly. Therefore, it’s important to have a list of dorm room essentials so you can be prepared and not ruin your budget.
There are several items that can be considered dorm room essentials. Some of them are comforters, blankets, lamps, desk for school work, a mini fridge, sheets and pillowcases. These are just the basics. Many students feel that electronics such as flat screen televisions, video gaming systems, an Ipad and laptop are also essential. In reality, a laptop or desktop computer are the only electronic essentials. So, where do you begin? Well check out the list below for some ideas.
Wal Mart and Best Buy are the best places to get started. Wal mart has lots of great dorm essentials like sheets and comforters at affordable prices. You can even color coordinate and match separates. This will make your room look and feel more like home. There is also Target and JC Penny but these places will be a little pricier. You can always shop online and ask friends to see if they have any slightly used items.
One last thing. You will also need lots of supplies. Check out Wal Mart and Walgreens for great deals on folders, pens, notebook paper, etc! Good Luck and Happy back to school shopping!
