I'm moving into my first apartment with my best friend so we are closer to school. Assume we have absolutely nothing for our apartment when giving your suggestions, please.
Answer
a well stocked kitchen with the basics of everything else
Kitchen:
Microwave: do I really need to tell you why LOL
Can opener and bottle opener: this one is self-explanatory
ladle: Very useful for making spaghetti, soups and stews
Good set of knives: I reccomend full-tang ones (the ones with the blade going through the handle's whole length).
Pots and Pans: Get a good brand like Farberware, preferably ones that aren't non-stick. Sure, they're a little harder to cook with, but there's no risk of teflon in your food (it is a carcinogen) or scraping it off when washing them. Check your local Big Lots or other discount store for a good deal on them. I paid $10 for my set of Farberware no-frills stainless steel ones and wash them with a scouring pad. For REALLY stubborn gunk, you could even use sandpaper on the steel.
Flatware: Service for 8 people will be plenty enough
Dishes/plates: Service for four should do nicely
Food storage containers: Dollar store ones, small, medium and large with lids. Get one set of each size
Glasses: Big Lots/Odd Lots has sets of 10-20 of them for $10. Add in a few larger plastic cups and you're all set.
Coffee Maker: Just get one from the Dollar Store, no frills.
Pot Holders/Oven Mitts: this one is self-explanatory
Cookie Sheet, Pizza Pan and Small and Large baking dishes: You'll end up making a pizza sometime, or Lasagna
Pizza cutter: Not really a critical necessity, but it makes pizza easier to handle.
Cleaning:
Laundry soap: Go for inexpensive, effective and basic, such as a 30lb bucket of powdered soap. With doing 2 loads of laundry every week, one bucket lasted me (living alone) nearly 2 years. As for fabric softener, Dollar General's brand works just fine with a Downy Ball dispenser.
Dish Soap: It's all the same stuff, get whatever is $1
Household Cleaning: Dollar General's "Cleaner with Bleach" does a good job. Window cleaner for glass, toilet bowl cleaner for the toilet.. When in doubt, Dollar General's brand will do the job.
Around the house:
Hammer: you'll want to hang pictures and it's useful for quick repairs. Same thing goes for screwdrivers.
Vacuum: Go to your local discount store like Big Lots/Odd Lots, you'll get the best deal there. I bought a 2 gallon 5HP wet/dry Shop-Vac for $30. It's simple, effective and gets the job done inside and in my car too.
Broom, dustpan and mop: you'll use these
Linens:
Towels and washcloths: 4 of each for each person will be plenty. Just get whatever is cheap.
Dish cleaning: 4 dish cleaning cloths, a pack of sponges and a few scouring pads will get anything clean. A bottle brush (looks like a 3D asterisk) will be very useful for glasses, especially if you have large hands.
Consumable items:
Paper towels and toilet paper: Generic brand, large quantities for around $5 each.
Soap: $5 for enough bars of soap to last a long time
Shampoo: I go with what is cheap and does the job, but this one depends on your tastes.
Garbage bags: Get what fits your garbage can and is cheap.
I'm probably forgetting quite a few things, but what I've suggested will have you living in relative comfort, while keeping the stack of dirty dishes to a minimum too.
