I am not just starting out but was intrigued by this book's title. The author covered everything you would need if you were getting your first apartment or home. It may appear to most people that the information contained in this book is just common sense. Not necessarily. Many young couples starting out are used to their parents paying for everything, and when they get out on their own they have a very hard time. I have heard many young women say they do not even know how to cook a hamburger let alone a meal for a hungry husband or family.I really liked the way the author compared different products and explained why she liked one better than the other. As far as shopping in Walmart, well many people shop there, in fact, I do myself. If someone is low on money and trying to furnish a home, that is a good place to start. It is a short book and the cost is low so it is affordable for someone wanting to know how to buy what they need for their first apartment.The prices will go up on the products that the author discussed since this book was written. That is just the way it is in this economy and this book gives a rough idea of what the price might be. That factor does not really effect the information in the book. What she does though is show you how she decided why a product was a better buy than another. Then maybe you can make better frugal choices when shopping yourself.I do not know the author, though I did buy her other book which I liked also.
