11. “Setting up a house. We just moved from an apartment to our first house, and I swear every time we turn around, it’s another $300 Costco or Home Depot trip. Lawn equipment, cleaning supplies, step ladder, real ladder (why are they SO EXPENSIVE???), power tools, etc. Not to mention all the moving costs, the utility set-up fees, home insurance, etc. At least most of the expenses are one-time fees, but I had no idea how much rugs cost, how much blinds cost, how much lawn tools cost!!”

“We spent lots of money at Lowes the first few years we lived in our house buying all sorts of things. One big saver for us was when you forward your mail, USPS sends you a ton of coupons for places. We had about a half dozen 20% off your entire order coupons for Lowes that went to good use.”
