We gave away all of our college things before leaving, and now I need pretty much all new stuff for my apartment. All of the stuff I used in college was given to us, so I don't know what is good to buy. I have Kohls, Walmart, Target, etc available.
Normally I'd go to Walmart as I was poor and it was the only place available, but that has changed some. But I still want to stay relatively cheap.
Do I want to go with aluminum or stainless steel or different pots and pans? I was tempted to just get the $20 10pc set, it said it was stainless steel and nonstick, but some of that stuff just seems like it will get trashed in the dishwasher even though it says otherwise, it will rust, etc. So just about how much do I have to spend to get decent quality stuff that will last a while? Farberware good enough? I seen a 10pc set for $50, about the max I can spend.
That stuff is my most concern on quality. Things like silverware, I'll just get the smallest stainless steel sets they have. For dishes, again I don't want to go too cheap I think, but I don't need fancy designs and such.
So in short, are there any things I want or want to avoid? I don't want to waste money on something sucky, or be stuck with stuff that isn't gonna last more than a year.
