China News Service, January 19. According to the US "World Journal" report, under the shadow of inflation, in Southern California, many Chinese are looking for ways to increase income and reduce expenditure, especially the cost-saving part can run the fastest.

Citizens share a variety of savings tips, including going to the supermarket with a full stomach, rules for emptying the refrigerator, filling a superannuation account, and paying a mortgage to save money.

Go to the supermarket to empty the refrigerator after a full stomach

　　"Eating" is probably the part that many Chinese can feel the sense of achievement in saving money the most.

Some netizens suggested that no matter what you buy, you must use it up and eat it up, reduce the number of trips to the supermarket, and go out after the refrigerator is at least three-quarters empty.

Clothes, household appliances, etc. at home can be used for a long time. The standard is to buy new ones when the old ones are scrapped. Never stock up.

Cut down on throwaway food and cheap clothes on sale.

　　Another coup is to go to the supermarket when you are full.

I want to buy everything when I’m hungry, try to buy as much as I can, make as much as I can, don’t throw it away, don’t waste it, and the actual purchase volume is 10% less than expected.

Don't buy discounts

　　Chinese Tina Liu said that several pairs of high-heeled shoes bought a few years ago are still in the box, and it is estimated that the leather is not far from aging.

I also stocked up on face oil, and I still have a big bottle in the refrigerator after using it for so long.

Therefore, her throttling experience of throttling is that if you don't buy things you can't use, don't buy them no matter how cheap they are.

Don't buy things of poor quality. If you need something, try to buy something of good quality and a little more expensive, so that you don't have to buy it for more than ten years.

The same is true for furniture and various daily necessities. Don’t buy cheap and assemble bedroom furniture yourself, because when you move, those furniture will be thrown away.

Learn to keep accounts and make purchase lists

　　Keeping accounts and making lists makes it clearer what you need.

A netizen recommended that you should also pay for the purchase of vegetables, and make a list of the things you want to buy and buy them together.

Also take some time to do your research to see where discounts are available.

In addition, check the accounts every month and make statistics to see what the main expenses are and whether they are necessary.

Reduce food and beverage consumption

　　Some Chinese eat very frugally. They don’t buy any snacks or eat out. A family of four spends only $1,000 a month on food and drink.

　　Some netizens recommend that the money-saving secret is to open the washing machine and dishwasher after 8 pm to avoid peak electricity consumption and lower the heating temperature.

Make some easy-to-keep foods like dumplings and buns and put them in the refrigerator to eat when you don't want to cook.

Don't go to the store to buy milk tea, coffee, etc., to reduce beverage expenses, because it is expensive and unhealthy.

Paying a mortgage is the best way to save money

　　Many Chinese netizens suggest to save 401K every month, and pay more mortgages if you have more money, because paying mortgages is the best way to save money.

The 30-year mortgage will be repaid in 15 years, and the house will be changed as long as the money is widened.
