Hi all
My son is about to set up his first flat and as you would imagine money is tight.
He's got all the main big stuff but needs all the household things that really eat away at the money.
Can all MSE's help me to find the best deals for all kitchen (small) appliances such as kettle, toaster, dinner service, cuttlery, glasses and pots and pans
Livingrooms stuff such as curtains, lights and curtain poles
Bedding, towels and anything else I might have missed.
Thanks in advance for your help

I have had both of these items from Asda and they have lasted really well. Aldi sometimes have pan sets reasonably. Ikea are good for basics like tea towels drinking glasses and kitchen items like mashers etc that everyone needs but mount up.0

dunelm mill are good at the moment with lots of "student" offers on on glasses cutlery and stuff and its quite funky stuff too, if you have one near you. they have cheap bedding and curtains too in the section.0

OP where are you based?
In the midlands they have all the pottery places and so you can get all crockery for silly money.
We got a dinner service for pence 25p for small plates, 50p for big plates and bowls. Just plain white ones that they have in funky restaurants!
Apart from that there are good recommendations above. We have recently moved into a flat and used Dunelm Mill, Ikea, Matalan, Asda and Tesco, some other good shops I forget the names of....

which can be a rich hunting ground for some things (avoid electrical), also try Tesco for towels - certain colours (aubergine and lilacin my local store) are down to £4.80 bath towel and 2.40 hand towel. Their "value" range of household goods can be worthwhile as well, especially for tools for cooking etc.0
