my suggestions
Start buying your housewares and basic furniture now. Put that bed on layaway! I know you will save for your initial move, but now is a good time to get clearance goods on things like linens. The big fall/winter push is on right now. The larger nice department stores like Macy's are having their big sales now. I just finished decorating my bath room and bought some great towels that are so fluffy!
The costs will creep up like its nobody's business. Also, if you are big on cooking, make it a point to buy good cookware and cutlery. On the less expensive side, Martha Stewart has a nice stainless steel set of cookware that will run you around $100.00.
On the, I am going to keep my cookware forever side...consider All-Clad. I worked in a housewares store for 3 years part time. (Crate& Barrel) You will appreciate the longevity of your pieces over time. Also, it really pays to shop at the outlet stores of C&Bs and the like. And stores like Crate and Barrel honor purchases pretty much forever. And the higher end cookware and flatware lines have a lifetime warranty.
Good luck! Happy Shopping!
