Wanting to get a list going on of things I need because I'm moving soon and wanted to have everything hammered down. They esentially shouldn't be expensive. I suppose can also be habits or other such things that improve QoL and maybe cost savings overall

Thank you!!

Yeah I've cycled through around 4 pans at this point they all go to shit. Definitely should invest in a good one.. Will look for BIFL essentially

Yeah I live in hazardous pollution all the time and nobody gives a fuck (I wear a mask, also for covid). How would it work, need to mount on windows? Never tried sorry for silly question

For hair down the drain I just use toxic chemicals that burn it overnight

The liquid plumber stuff can eat through older pipes, so depending on where you're moving to it might be better to invest in one of these:

I got a Winix air purifier and am very happy with it. ~$100+ for a "luxury" (health) item though

Stainless steel for cookware is the way to go

Lotion, keep your skin hydrated

If you own a car, one of those "jumper pumper" battery packs is a game changer. Can charge or power household items during power outages, is great for camping, and can jump start a battery or pump a flat tire. Around $100 at Costco

Edit: and yes, a robo vacuum is a game changer. I also got an electric mop (still gotta hand push it, but it has rotating heads and a sprayer) and it makes mopping a lot less miserable

I have an air purifier but doesnt seem to do that much and I have to run it with windows closed which sucks in the summer when allergies peak

I dont really use lotion as I have greasy-ish skin but dunno

Thanks!!
