First apartment checklist, priced per unit
Every other list tells you to buy trash bags. None of them tells you what a bag should cost, so none of them can tell you whether the pack you are holding is a good one. These are the consumables you actually run out of first, each priced in the unit it is used in.
Quantities cover roughly the first three months for one person. Prices are live medians across 447 tracked listings.
The “typical price” column is the median across every listing we track in that category, not an average of the cheap ones — so it is what you would actually pay without looking anything up. The gap between the two totals is what the looking-up is worth.
