the ultimate trick to save money-creativity!

there are countless ways to teach people to save money on the internet, such as discount coupons, various e-commerce activity days, or holding activities to hoard a lot. These are all good, and there is no problem.

But in essence, these solutions are still to let us take little Qian Qian out of our pockets. Just from a little more, to a little less.

have you ever thought about solving your problems and meeting your own needs without spending money?

er, er, I didn't say how to write it in the Criminal Law.

In fact, it's really not difficult to do as long as you use your brain and your imagination and creativity!

If you don't believe me, let me tell two real things that happened to me ~ Event 1: I want a lifting desk!

Last winter, I often felt uncomfortable in my stomach, which was often caused by eating indigestible food and being unable to control my appetite.

but I still need to sit at my desk to learn something I am interested in after dinner, but it is extremely uncomfortable to sit.

at that time, I thought, maybe I should stand and read, so that I can do things and at the same time alleviate the problem that my stomach has been bothering me.

how to work standing up? -lift the desk!

The answer immediately came to my eyes. I didn't hesitate to open an orange shopping software to check the price of the lifting desk. I have to say, it scared me.

I originally thought that the structure of the lifting desk was not complicated, and the material was just wooden board and a small amount of steel plate or iron, which should not be expensive. Unexpectedly, in fact, the average price is 211~311 yuan.

the price of a certain software

to be honest, this price is not unacceptable, but I consider that the lifting table is extremely low in use frequency and will take up a lot of space when not in use.

I can't help but think again. Can I really only buy a lifting desk to solve my problem? Event 2: I want a detachable curtain!

Coincidentally, last summer, when I was reading, the desk was too bright, and if all the curtains were closed, the room would be too dark.

if only the lower part of this curtain could be detached. This will only block half of the light to ensure that it is not dazzling, and at the same time provide brightness to avoid insufficient indoor brightness.

When this requirement was first thought of, the solution that came to my mind at the same time was that the lower part of the shopping APP I once saw could be pasted with curtains.

I thought how convenient it would be for me to buy a curtain like this.

but when I turned around, I thought, I bought it, mailed it, and it was many days. Then you have to install it yourself. Maybe after a set of procedures, I find that I don't need this curtain at all.

(A friend behind me told me that she bought a detachable curtain in summer, and after placing an order, transporting it, grinding it and assembling it, it was autumn and winter, and it was no longer needed. ) Is there any other solution besides consumption?

is there any way to solve my problem immediately, timely and immediately?

I looked around and suddenly saw the iron clip for drying clothes-inspiration suddenly emerged!

why should I go further than the near?

Actually, my demand is very simple, I just need to shorten the length of curtains to half of that before, so I just need to use a shelf, fold half of the curtains, and then fix them with clips.

and it took less than 1 minutes. Even when I don't need it, I just need to take off the clip and everything will be restored.

I not only saved time, but also solved my needs in time. I also saved money, and I didn't add any extra items in the room, which occupied my space and didn't have to spend more time sorting and cleaning.

back to my first need, lifting the desk!

I just want to work standing, and enough height+office platform is the core requirement.

I looked around the room and thought for a moment. I took a wooden stool high enough and put it on my desk. Then I put my drawing board big enough on the wooden stool lying all over my feet-a simple standing desk!

it successfully fulfilled my demand-standing for office!

and I can meet my demand immediately, and I don't need to stand and wait for a long time for express delivery, because it's a low-frequency item. When I don't need it, I can restore these two things without taking up any extra space, and at the same time, I don't need to spend money, which also solves my problem.

Reflection: Why does consumption become our first choice?

After experiencing these two things, I can't help but inspire my thinking and reflection on my daily life.

living in this era, we have been accustomed to think that every problem can be bought with tools and professional solutions in the quickest way.

any problem is nothing more than this.

in the era of high industrialization and consumption, everything you want and can't think of is created by people.

We are no longer like people before the industrial age. We need to solve all the problems of life by ourselves.

with the progress of science and technology and productivity, a large number of industrial products have become affordable for the general public, which greatly improves and enhances our quality of life, and people are no longer required to think for themselves or solve everything by themselves.

But at the same time, the convenient consumption world has also changed our way of thinking. We follow the inertia of thinking and think that all problems can be solved by money.

We often say that in the consumer society, merchants and capital constantly create various demands for us, pushing us to consume and spend money.

So have we ever reflected, in such an environment, whether we are unconsciously labeled "All problems are solved with money is the quickest and most convenient!" What about the thought seal?

does this also bind us closely to the consumerism tide of this era to some extent? Let us, as small individuals in this era, create this era of consumption together?

But in fact, is consumption really the quickest, simplest, most convenient and most cost-effective solution to all problems in life?

when we take a step back and break the stereotype of thinking, can we find some more creative, interesting, convenient and flexible ways to solve problems?

As far as the two things I have experienced are concerned, I think creative methods may solve my problems more quickly and conveniently than consumption, and there is no need to create more consumption.

Take a step back and reflect on life. Maybe when we see our problems, we can have a clear understanding. Tips

When you have some problems and needs and want to save money or spend less money to solve them, this tip may help you!

1. Restore your most essential needs

What is your ultimate goal?

think about your most fundamental needs, which will help you find a solution.

2. Grab all available objects around you

Many objects can be given more possibilities besides their own uses. By using all available objects around you, you may be able to achieve your goals skillfully.

Try it, when you spend little or no money in your life, you can also solve and handle your problems and needs well ~

So:

The ultimate money-saving trick-use creativity instead of buying! Attachment:

These creative methods are not perfect. If my demand is 111 points, then these solutions can probably pass 61 points.

But because my needs are temporary and low frequency, I think these methods can meet my requirements.

I'm by no means totally opposed to purchasing solutions directly by consumption. For high-frequency requirements, and demanding and demanding requirements, buying professional tools may be a safer, more convenient and cost-effective choice.

so please be sure to choose the solution according to the actual situation!

Seeyou~
