dakotadenise Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) I have a son heading off to college next fall and thought I would maybe pick up some stuff this BF for him. He will most likely be in an apartment with a roommate or two. What are some great deals you've seen that he might need?? Only thing coming to mind is the rubbermaid food storage set walmart always has on sale. Edited October 18, 2018 by dakotadenise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berry1014 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Towels, sheets, bedding set, dishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len_mullen Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Got to start with a list. There are some things he will just need like supertwin bedding and toiletries, some kind of computer and clothes. Then there are the things he will want like a television, an iPad, a printer, and a netflix streamer. I like the TCL Roku TVs because they are made for a dorm and include the streaming functions...https://www.tclusa.com/blog/college-dorm-room-tv plus you do not have a lot of wires and devices to manage. For a printer, I have to say I love the Canon all-in-ones. Great text, pictures, double sided scans and prints, automatic document handler, and cheap third party ink. This is the one I use...https://www.bestbuy.com/site/canon-pixma-mx922-network-ready-wireless-all-in-one-printer-black/7919046.p If your student is not particularly technical, the Epson Workforce printers might not need ink replaced over four years...https://www.walmart.com/ip/Epson-Expression-ET-2650-EcoTank-Wireless-Color-All-in-One-Supertank-Printer-with-Scanner-and-Copier/115292538 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momlori Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 MIcrowave, coffee maker, dorm size fridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len_mullen Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Some dorms will not allow microwave, toaster, or coffee maker. Dorm size fridge is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msyves Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Small appliances, laundry basket, laundry detergent, restaurant/movie gift cards, sheets, throws, and blankets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgetsRsexy Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I would think towels and a laundry basket are good bets. I would wait on bedding until you know more about his living situation. Sometimes freshman are not allowed to live off campus and dorms usually have the extra long twin beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracy0504 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 If he is going to be living in an apartment off campus then all the small appliances that Wal Mart usually has for like $10 on BF, crock-pot, coffeemaker, waffle maker, electric griddle... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
