Re: Moving Out
Congratulations, moving out is awesome.
Check craigslist, they have all kinds of perfectly good stuff up there free or dirt cheap. Around here, there's people who make stupid money so they'll upgrade their CRT television to plasma then give the old one away, or have a leather sofa that's not "in style" anymore, replace it, and give the old one away as long as you cart it off yourself. And that's really what brothers are for, right? You could probably furnish the place out pretty nicely at very little or no charge.
Another way to save money (and go green) is to absolutely save on power. Avoid turning lights on, utilize those blinds or drapes or whatever, use those new bulbs that last forever and barely use any power.
For food, try Costco or whatever wholesale places you have there. You can get just about everything for much less, and since you get a lot of it you don't have to go back for a long time.
