Maybe you’ve just graduated from college and gotten your first job. Or perhaps you’ve been living at home for a while as you’ve worked, and you’re finally ready to get a place of your own. Either way, congratulations, you’re getting your first apartment. Now you have to stock it up, style it and furnish it. 

There are some places you know you’ll have to hit once you have the keys in hand — places like IKEA or your local grocery store. While you may have Aldi high on your list of grocery stores, you might be surprised to find that you could find some first apartment essentials in the aisles, even beyond the tasty, affordable groceries. 

Huntington Home Gray Canvas Wedge Pillow

Getting comfy on the couch or even the bed with your tablet or a good book, or simply propping yourself up during a binge watch, is easier and more stylish with this wedge pillow. It supports your back while adding a splash of sophistication to your room — and with a handle that makes it easy to carry, you can move it from room to room. At only $14.99, this wedge pillow isn’t just great for the spine, it also strengthens your wallet. 

George Foreman Nonstick Coating Serving Grill 

Many a millennial will remember watching their parents make hamburgers, hot dogs and even grilled chicken patties on the George Foreman grill. This versatile, highly useful device has made a comeback on the shelves of Aldi — though it never really went away in your memory — and for just $24.99 you can bring it to your new kitchen countertop. 

Crofton Four-Piece Baking Set

Whether you’re preparing dinner for one or planning to host your very first party, you’ve got to have cookware. Why not make that cookware as beautiful as the rest of your apartment? With this four-piece gold baking set, you add color and shine to your kitchen. Wow your guests with your good tastes (and hopefully your baked chicken recipe), as well as your thriftiness, since this set is priced at only $12.99. 

Crofton Mini Pizza Pan

Is there anything better than pizza? Maybe just a pizza you don’t have to share with anyone else. Or, even better, a personal-sized pizza with an easy-to-clean and colorful mini pizza pan that costs just $3.99. If that sounds like an amazing deal to you, check out the Crofton mini pizza pans available at Aldi in purple, peach and blue. 

Huntington Home Window Curtain

You might expect to pay quite a bit for elegant curtains in a blue ombre pattern. Fortunately, if you’re a steadfast Aldi shopper, you’d be wrong. These curtains, which offer you privacy and style in equal measure, are only $9.99.
