The first thing I want to talk about is the problem of buying food. Most students studying in Korea will choose to cook by themselves, because it will save a lot of Qian Qian!
First, buy food in the Korean market.
Choosing to cook by yourself can save the next living expenses, but many friends are used to buying food in the supermarket, thinking that the supermarket is more convenient and fast. In fact, the price of the supermarket is very expensive. I used to go to supermarkets, but since I knew that the price of food in some markets in Korea was half that of supermarkets, I chose to go to the market to buy food.
Vegetables in the market are very affordable. Sometimes it costs only a dozen dollars to give a big basket of vegetables to uncles and aunts, and even some of them are friendship gifts, which is much more cost-effective than going to the supermarket to buy them yourself. If you are in the market, you can choose to go to Jingdong Market and Qingliangli Market, which are both cheap and good.
Second, the supermarket to buy temporary food
Food in many supermarkets in Korea has a shelf life. Once the food has expired, it is not allowed to be sold. So many supermarkets in Korea will offer discounts at night. The shelf life of these foods is usually three or four days. Sometimes you don't want to cook. At this time, you can buy some convenient food to eat by yourself. Temporary food in Korean supermarkets is discounted every night. Generally, after eight o'clock, the price of discounted goods is half of usual.
Third, buy second-hand teaching materials
For Korean students, studying textbooks in Korea also costs a lot of money. In Korea, professors usually tell students the title of the book and the relevant information of the book directly, and then let the students buy it themselves. At this time, they can choose to buy textbooks left by their seniors and sisters, which will be much cheaper and save a lot of money.
Fourth, buy fast fashion discount clothes.
As an international student, buying clothes is probably an expense of living expenses. You can choose some fast fashion brands. These fast fashion brands will have discounts at the end of the season, and the discounts are very strong. For example, Black Five, a dress is basically tens of dollars, and fast fashion brands include TOP 10, SPAO, NERDY and so on. You can also go to Dongdaemun, where clothes are cheaper, and there are even buy one get one free activities.
Five, choose affordable housing
If you can stay in school, you'd better choose to live on campus. After all, school accommodation is the most affordable. If you live off campus, you can choose some apartments or examination institutes. There is generally no need to pay a deposit. When renting a house, you can choose all-inclusive affordable housing such as water fee, internet fee and garbage sorting fee. If you often take the subway, you can also apply for a subway time ticket. You can take the subway 60 times a month, but now only Seoul and Busan can.
It is not easy for Korean students to study and live abroad. I hope these money-saving skills can help you!
