I just moved across the country where I knew NOONE and had a completely empty apartment. I moved with only what was in my small lil Mazda and so I had to buy all my kitchen type stuff when I got here.

Hope this helps ya a bit!

Appliances I have since purchased: George Foreman Grill (LOVE IT!!!) $20
rice cooker $12
blender $20
microwave $70

Other Crap I Bought (I don't remember prices on most of this...)
NICE knife set (I don't remember how much this cost...)
non-stick pan set $40 NEW @ Goodwill (trust me. GET NON-STICK. You will appreciate not ever having to scrub!!)
Cutting board - wood is best
Can Opener $12 (I got a really good quality one at Target - Michael Graves Design I believe it was)
Various utensils you KNOW you will use (I LOVE OXO brand - costs a bit more but the larger gripped handles rock)
Stainless-steel collander $8
Dishes $40 for 8 place setting (I'd say get cheap like I did because chances are the dishes you buy at 21 aren't the ones you'll like when you are older and/or married)
Glassware $15 (for a 30pack from Target)
Small NON-STICK cookie sheet $3 @ Big Lots (GREAT PLACE for just starting out...)
Pizza Pan
Ice Cube Trays if your freezer doesn't have an ice maker

Food Staples:
Vinegar
Flour
Sugar
Spice-rack (cheaper than individual spices....but who knows if you'll ever use celery salt!??)
Non-stick spray
Rice (for that rice cooker)
Salt & Pepper

And of course there's more stuff, but those are the immediate eseentials I got.

I highly reccomend the George Foreman Grill simply because you can make ANYTHING on it and all you have to do to clean it is gte a wet paper towel and wipe it down. Plus what takes 20 minutes to make on the stove takes 5. Seriously. I don't know how I've lived without it! (Dear god, I should be on the friggin infomercial!)
