The most frugal way to save money on living expenses is not a single one, but requires a combination of several ways, and more importantly, long-term persistence and habit.
My mom is living a very frugal life, whether it is usually to buy food or daily use, can easily save a large sum of money, the following, I'll organize these methods, share to the need of friends, mainly divided into two major parts:
Daily shopping in terms of water, electricity, and gasDaily shopping, which is to save the cost of living the most important part:
1, cooking oil and rice
Buy cooking oil and rice, it is recommended to go to the supermarket to buy, but to choose the timing, is the end of the month when the special price is more.
My mom chose this time to go to the supermarket, buy rice and cooking oil to save more than 1/3 of the money than usual, because generally speaking, the national cooking oil and rice and noodles and so on, are the end of the month when the special price is more.
2, buy food
Buy food, pay attention to the supermarket's special time, according to the general law of the country, the price of food at night will be more favorable, of course, the morning there will be a batch, but generally there is no time in the morning. Therefore, office workers can pass by the supermarket to buy vegetables at the end of the day, the special offer is more. The overall calculation of the day, but also to save a large sum of money.
3, home daily necessities
This is not to go to the supermarket to buy, because the price is obviously much more expensive. It is recommended that you go to the city's daily necessities wholesale market to buy, like: toilet paper, detergent can be a one-time buy more, the price is cheaper than at least one-third.
Lastly, usually to collect some coupons, such as some large platforms online, often early some promotional activities, at this time to collect those coupons, it seems that the amount of each time is not large, but I counted, buy things a year down to save at least two thousand dollars.
Learning to save money on everyday shopping, in fact, there are some small links, for example, to save money on utilities and gas expenses, this aspect should also pay attention to, but also not a small amount of money:
These additional costs seem to be tens of hundreds of dollars per month, but a few of them add up to a couple of hundred dollars a month.
In terms of saving money on water, my mom often prepares a larger bucket and hoards the water from washing clothes to flush the toilet, don't look at this move as a bit small, but it can save a lot of money on water bills over the course of a year.
Electricity, to develop a good habit of turning off lights. After the computer is used to unplug the electricity, and the TV, do not watch when to turn off, a year down also save a lot of money. Regarding the gas bill, try to stew as little as possible, because stewing is too time-consuming and a waste of gas, rather than choosing to stir-fry, buy fresh vegetables to stir-fry and eat, which is more cost-effective.
All in all, the daily cost of living savings method is still a lot of , as long as we are attentive to do, from the daily drop in the start, you can easily pick up a sum of living expenses, and still not a small expenditure, According to my mother's statistics, if you do a good job of these, if you want to save the minimum four or five thousand dollars more than a year.
Friends in need, you can follow the above method to try, be sure to adhere to, over time you will find that the same is to live, so do can save a large sum of money.
