Xizi is a family of four living in a two-bedroom living room of 70 square meters, in order to save some money, life can be said to be very economical, the whole family's living expenses are controlled within 700 yuan a month.
How did Xizi do it? Let's settle the math together:
First: 200 yuan per month for the whole family's milk.
Milk is calcium supplemented, and it is very suitable for adults and children. How did you do that 200 yuan a month of milk?
The supermarket will have a discount on milk every month, so be sure to start it in time at this time, and buy two more cases if it is fresh during the period.
Remember to use coupons for online shopping. Usually I buy milk on big platforms, especially when there are discounts or coupons on the platform.
Milk powder and milk are mixed together. Friends who like to drink milk powder can also buy milk powder, and you can brew it for yourself.
Second: the water and electricity bills are controlled within 60 yuan.
This can really be done, and in time, the water and electricity bills of Xizi are quite low in the summer. Here's how we do it :
Make a basin when you take a bath. In this way, the shower water is not wasted, and the water can be used to wash the mop or the toilet.
Turn on the lights in whichever room you stay in, don't turn them all on.
Brush pot water can be used to water the flowers (not too dirty).
When washing clothes, don't wash them for too long, it's best to choose the time according to the amount and material of the clothes.
The air conditioner is not turned on casually, it is hot and then turned on, generally when the weather is cold, wear more clothes, cover more quilts, and only when it is very cold will you consider whether it can be turned on.
Third: melons, fruits and vegetables are controlled within 100 yuan.
The food looks expensive, but you can't buy much for a meal. It is not recommended to buy more fresh vegetables, because you can't eat them all because you buy too much, and they are either bad or spoiled.
We still eat as much as we want, in order to save money, it is better not to buy more, which dish is cheaper; Eat whatever fruit is cheaper.
oneIn general, after 7 p.m. in the supermarket, fruits and vegetables are on sale.
The supermarket will have a discount area, and some fruits and vegetables that need to be processed in time will be placed on it, and we can choose according to their quality.
For example, bananas, it is cheaper to buy a black skin than a green one, because the black skin is softer and not easy to put for a long time.
It just so happens that the Saiko family likes to eat soft ones, so they buy this discounted banana every time.
Fourth: Meat is controlled at 100 yuan per month.
Eating 100 yuan of meat a month is not lessHow to save money on meat?
Meat from the market or supermarket in the afternoon is usually cheaper than meat in the morning.
If you can't afford to eat small chops, you can replace them with big bones; If you can't afford to eat sea bass, you can eat grass carp, which can also nourish the body, so you must learn to replace the meat.
You don't need to buy too much meat for a meal, and eat fresh meat at home.
Fifth: toiletries are controlled at 30 yuan per month.
You must know that toiletries are not used up all at once, and you can use a bottle of savings to use it.
For four or five months, an average of 30 yuan per month is completely sufficient.
Here we need to know these 3 points:
Ran out of toothpaste. You can roll it with a pencil, and you can use it two or three times, like Xizi can make a lot of foam with less brushing each time, and a toothpaste can be used for half a year.
After the shampoo and shower gel are used, you can use them three or four times with a shake of the water.
Brushing the toilet bowl with shampoo and body wash is fragrant, and brushing the toilet with toothbrush water can make the toilet bowl cleaner.
Sixth: the mobile phone fee is controlled at 150 yuan.
Our family has three mobile phones: Xizi, Mr. Ma, and grandma, with a total of 50 yuan a month for a mobile phone (we are bound to the number, so it is generally Xizi to pay the money).
However, this month's 150 yuan includes the rental fee of the wireless network, etc., in short, it is quite cost-effective.
I pay the phone bill now because I have one thing in mind - whether it can be discounted, Generally, I will look for discounts on various platforms, such as WeChat, Alipay or Douyin, etc., or water on Jingdong in exchange for Jingdou to use the phone bill.
These six items add together for a total of 640 yuan, which is exactly 60 yuan saved, which is used to pay the gas bill, and the gas bill of 200 yuan can be used.
Five or six months, a total of more than 30 yuan a month, this is still surplus.
Xizi thinks every time that there is no dragging, and I believe that I will be more economical and more selective. Don't believe it, I really have more times to search than this, and I'll find a time to chat with everyone again.
