if you're in a college town, look for people offloading stuff at the end of the year. get a cheap storage unit if you need to for the summer and move furniture and other big things into it.
the year I moved from on campus to off campus, i scored a couch, TV, a couple of nice throw rugs and a lot of other big things from people getting rid of stuff they otherwise didn't want to haul home -- all free.
As far as "things" that i found handy... a small bbq comes in handy if you have a commons area or a porch that you can use it on. I also put alot of milage on my pocket sandwich compress... its like a waffle iron, but you put 2 slices of bread with various fillings in it. home made hot pockets in about 5 minutes including warm up.
