Summarize ways to save money:
Clothes: For me, clothes are the biggest expense. Last year, I bought a lot of cotton-padded clothes happily, opened the cupboard and made an inventory, and decided not to buy clothes in winter. If you don't buy new clothes and want to dress beautifully, of course you should use your head. Clothes are matched in sets and hung in rows, and each set of clothes will not last for two days, so the life of clothes can be prolonged. There is a brown cotton-padded jacket that I haven't worn for a year because it is too dark. I took a look at it this year and removed the woolen sleeves and turned them into vests. I put on a little rose sweater and a little rose scarf inside, and then I put on the high boots I bought last year, which changed my old appearance. For a simple example, there are many new clothes that are similar to my old clothes. In order to save money and reduce the frequency of shopping, I took down one of my sweaters and knitted one for my son to wear. It's pure white wool, and the new pattern I saw in the mall. My son wears it warmly and looks good. My son seldom buys clothes. He wears two sets of school uniforms from Monday to Friday, only on weekends, so a brand sportswear with this sweater in autumn can spend a warm winter. In addition to using local materials, there is another trick: wholesale. I have a girlfriend who sells clothes and shoes. Call me when she comes back. Brand shoes and clothes can pay less than half the price, both good quality and good price. My son bought his sportswear and sneakers in this way, and I also spent 100 yuan on shoes worth 300 yuan.
Food: two people should not spend too much on food. Kunming is rich in fruits. Don't buy new fruits, just buy a lot of fruits, which are cheap and delicious. Now, the most popular thing is to touch oranges. Apples are bought locally in Kunming. They are not beautiful, but they taste good. The price of pork went up, and the chicken was almost the same as before, so I bought more chicken to eat. It is also a way to save money and not waste by rummaging through cabinets and refrigerators frequently and eating your own food reasonably. There is also the cheapest way to buy vegetables at dusk, usually by the pile, and you may be able to buy the vegetables you want at half price. In the supermarket in our community, vegetables are 20% off after 7: 30 in the evening, and you can buy whatever you want after dinner. Try to eat out less and make more snacks by yourself. My cooking has improved and I have saved money. When shopping in the supermarket, make a plan, don't buy anything outside the plan, and try to buy promotional products within the plan.
H: Water and electricity is a relatively large expense. There are many ways to save electricity. Anyway, turn off the power of unused appliances and soak rice before cooking. There are more than a dozen chandeliers in my living room, and now half of them are not working. I wanted to change the light bulb, but I decided not to. Anyway, the brightness is enough to save half the electricity. Water fee? I've always been used to it. The water in the washing machine touched the mop. Of course, I remember a teacher once said: a glass of water, brushing your teeth first in the morning, then washing your face and washing your feet at night, how many times happier we were than she was then.
Ok: since I don't have a car, I have a bus card, which can be used for several months by charging 100 yuan. My son has a student card. It's a good idea to walk as much as possible and keep your weight. Don't take a taxi if you can take the bus. I'm used to taking buses, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Reading: I often surf the Internet and basically don't buy books and magazines. It happens that my girlfriend has several library cards. She calls me every time she borrows a book, so that friends can get together and she can choose books at will. You can't read books unless you borrow them. Because you borrowed them, you read faster and more carefully, and sometimes you take notes. Take stock, I have read more books this year than in previous years.
Beauty: beauty cards are included in the promotion, of course, it is more economical not to include cards. The mask is made at home, once every three days, which is better than the beauty salon. More and more meticulous skin is proof.
Fitness: I originally planned to get a fitness card, but later I decided to cancel it. Walking more, doing more housework, playing ball with my son, marching while watching TV, and recently learning a yoga book, I have time to practice by myself. I have a girlfriend who is forty years old, but her abdomen is flat and her waist is thin, which is always enviable. Girlfriend said it was all the result of housework. Although my girlfriend has millions of assets, she never asks a nanny, and the floor is wiped with a rag. This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
That day, I joked with my friends in the group: I want to go to your office to watch stocks online, which can save my computer and electricity, as well as mineral water. All my friends laughed and said you could do it. Of course, this is just a joke. This way of harming others and benefiting oneself is not a happy way to save money. In short, the money that should be spent must be spent, and the money that should not be spent should not be squandered. Of course, make more money, work hard to make money and spend money wisely, and life will be better.
