I got all my pots and pans, an organizer, study chair, and a lamp all second hand for a total of $63. Facebook marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, and secondhand places like Goodwill or Savers will go far in a tight budget! As far as your roommate I’m with #6. It’s not likely you’ll be roommates for more than a semester or two anyway.

Get bare minimum, then make a list of the things you wish you had/keep reaching for and go shopping for those things only

I agree with this. The matching stuff is very unnecessary
