Tips & Tricks Tuesday: New home living with a quick list

Once your moving checklist is done, living in a new residence can mean a number of inevitable shopping trips to pick up new supplies and such. In this week’s tip, radmoose shares a simple and perennial tip: keep track of everything as quickly as you think of it, and you’ll have everything ready when you get to the store, from the shower curtain to the new furniture!

I recently moved to a new apartment on my own, so as I remembered things I would need (like utensils, and cleaning supplies) I would add them to a list tagged for the new apartment,

This allows me to make sure I get the things I need as well as check what I have gotten, so I don’t double buy.

Stuff like “Shower Curtain” that I only seemed to remember at 1am was easily added via my phone. “Kitchen Towels” added via the trip on the light rail.

Then when I was at a store, I would just bring the list up and check off what I can.

Haven’t checked off the “Lifesized Moose” yet, however.
