When I moved in with my fiancé a couple of months ago, we didn't have a stove (or anything, really) yet moving out of our parents places. Bought the cheapest store-brand microwave from an electronics store, $140. And for $140, it's really not doing a great job of being a microwave, or an oven with the oven function, honestly. But it gets the job done and we'll buy a more proper microwave when it dies (which will probably be a couple of months after the warranty runs out).

I went through the same thing 8 years ago in an apartment. Figured microwaves were like 40 bucks. Well they aren’t. We didn’t even get one and actually liked it. But it would be hard without a stove lol

Thankfully, we were able to put in our brand new induction stovetop 2 weeks ago. I did not cheap out on that, and I'm glad I didn't. This thing boils water in 30 seconds - hell yeah!
