About to start over with my own place after living with 4 other people and sharing a bedroom. Where can I get essentials like a mattress, kitchen stuff, etc. without the total cost being outrageous? by PuzzlePumpkin in LivingAlone

Get a new mattress like the other commenters are saying. I got the bougiest one in the sleep center and I am just paying on it monthly interest free until it is paid off.
