Hi,
I am hoping to buy a house soon and am stocking up my "bottom drawer" of things I will need. I think a few of things I've spotted recently would be good for students who are heading off for university in September.
In Wilko's they have a 12 piece dinner set (3 bowls, plates, side plates) for £5. I also got a stainless steel cutlery set for £1.73
I have also seen pan sets in Asda and Tesco fro around a tenner.
Hope this is useful!

We have a small stockpile of stuff at the moment for Son 3. Wilkos is great for student household stuff. We got a lot of Son 1's kit in there. I've also picked up bits from the 99p Stores, B&M and Lidl.
I'll have a look out for those pans you mention, also need to get a laundry bag, kitchen utensils, towels, but will leave buying bedding until we know whether he's in halls (single bed) or shared house with own room (often a double bed)Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
