Well, I did not have the list so bought about everything listed except a mattress. No problems. Look at the people having the garage sale and the area of town and then decide what you want to buy. To get rid of bedbugs bag them and stick them in your freezer for about a week. Sheets and pillowcases and fabric goods can be washed immediately and then put in the dryer on high. I've purchased lots of kitchen stuff and run it through the dishwasher on "heavy". You can buy new blades for food processors, etc. I don't know where that person got the information but I think it is a little overworked.
