Setting up a new place from scratch on a TIGHT budget!

Would love any recommendations on bargains for:

Kitchen items (kettle, toaster, slow cooker... everything really)
TV
King size mattress

Hi

Aldi/Lidl have reasonable deals on Kettles / Toasters, steamers now.
Check Argos for offers
PowerCity for TV (DID, RicherSounds on Boards)

Mattress: Mattress Micks, Groupon (have offers on now). Spend the money on a good mattress.

If you need Fridge, Washing Machine etc you may get a deal in PowerCity, DID etc. Have to shop around and bargain

Thanks for the recommendations!

Jesas Parcel Motel - how much would that cost?

I got special hanging baskets from UK. But the way they were packaged meant they could not fit in the Lockers. I got charged by the size of the boxes and had to go to their depot to collect. A purchase of €60 cost me close to €100.

So check delivery costs on any bulky purchases

Those mattresses come rolled and vacuum packed (same as Ikea), so services such as Parcel Motel would routinely handle similar sized packages.
