Top BIFL Household Items for Starting Over
It depends on your priorities. If your family is very big on food and home cooking, kitchen items will be important. If you are just homebodies who want to enjoy movie nights, “home theater” items are important. Here are some thoughts: Basics - Bedding. Maybe not BIFL but quality is important - Cleaning appliances (? my brain is fried I forgot the word), like vacuums. Any broom has BIFL potential and doesn’t cost $$$$. - Dinnerware. Corelle is my favorite but sturdy dishes that can take abuse are important. Kitchen - KitchenAid stand mixer. Cheaper maybe-not-so-BIFL alternative is a dash stand mixer. - Cast iron. Super cheap and can be thrifted, just scrub the heck out of them and season for a while. Doesn’t need to be expensive. - stainless steel. Can go in dishwasher, can cook well, doesn’t die an agonizing death like nonstick. - Multi cooker. Rice cooker, instant pot, or other. Depending on your family’s needs: rice cookers can multicook (but primary function is grains), instant pot is great for “quick” cooking or slow cooking or dry beans, and a crock pot is a classic. - wood cutting boards, not bamboo. Take care of it (end or edge grain) and it will last forever. I like my Sonder LA boards and don’t recommend Teak brand. One size for large batch cooking or rolling dough, one size for everyday and if you are bougie one size for quickly cutting things like apples. - Knives. Doesn’t need to be expensive! I have two babish knives and I’m pretty sure they will last forever. I also have a paring knife from a 99 cent store set that brings new meaning to the word survivor. Don’t forget to sharpen them. Shopping - Thrift stores - Buy Nothing groups - facebook marketplace - Etsy or ebay, depending - surplus stores Considerations - can you get a cheaper version and live with it until you can do BIFL? - can you wait to purchase it without worrying about tariff-induced price issues? - can you get it secondhand?
