What are the ways to save money in Guangzhou life?

I am orange sauce, a "new" Guangzhou who has lived in Guangzhou for four years. Due to the epidemic, the industry has shrunk and the income has dropped sharply. I want to open the road to saving money!

I have saved money for more than two years. Although my salary is not much, I have successfully paid off the accumulated 10w+ debt due to surgery and entrepreneurial failure, and also successfully unlocked new skills and hobbies. Below I will talk about my understanding and tips on saving money from the aspects of food, clothing, housing, transportation+eating, drinking and having fun!

Clothes:

You can choose to buy in the wholesale market, and some wholesale markets can retail. If the price in Guangzhou is high, you can consider going to Humen Town or Shilong Town in Dongguan. I usually go to Sha Tau Kok Clothing City in Shilong twice a year, and the price is generally between 20- 120 (T-shirts are generally 100r3-4, skirts are 50r, and winter coats 130 or so).

This dress is 25r.

Shoes: You can buy them at 1688, choose a pair of about 50r, and choose Putian or the shipping area. Generally, the quality is not bad. In the early days, you can also apply for a monthly card in Pinduoduo and buy it with a no-threshold coupon. If the goods you just bought have quality problems or delayed delivery, you can apply for extra subsidies, so I bought a pair of canvas shoes with extra subsidies and paid 2.8r, which is so beautiful!

Eat:

It is said that food is eaten in Guangzhou, and the smell of fireworks in Guangzhou is really speechless. The cries of selling vegetables in the vegetable market are one after another, and the most common one is the phrase "flat and beautiful". Indeed, the price in Guangzhou is so touching that it is cheaper than many second-and third-tier cities (except Tianhe District).

Take me as an example, I often cook at home and often go to the following three vegetable markets for reference.

1. Jinlong Road Vegetable Market

Frozen pork bones are as low as 8.5r/ kg, and expensive ones range from 13.5-22r/kg. Flowers are 5r/3kg, shrimps 15-25r/kg, fresh lamb chops are 26-33r/ kg and vegetables are 2-3r/ kg, all of which are freshly picked on the same day. This vegetable market belongs to the paradise series of the poor, but there is no subway and a small electric donkey is needed.

2. Longevity new market

The vegetable market is very large, and it takes 15-20 minutes to walk around. It is a netted vegetable market, fruit area, meat area, seafood area and vegetable area, with obvious divisions, rich dishes and frugality, which is very suitable for vegetable market enthusiasts and students who like variety of dishes! Moreover, the meat is real, so you can buy a few pieces casually and ask the boss to shred and slice it for you or wash it and stir it into a paste! Personally, I recommend buying pork in this market and meat at 4 pm on weekends. The meat is still warm and fresh!

3. Shayuan Vegetable Market

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the largest vegetable market in Guangzhou! The food is fresh and cheap! (A little more expensive than Jinlong Road) Don't miss friends who like to cook by themselves! Moreover, the subway is direct and the transportation is convenient. Go after buying!

If you go to the supermarket online, I suggest you go to Mesbaile and AEON. Meat will be sold at a discount within 48 hours. Buy one get one free at the cheapest time, and the date is no more than 48 hours.

I also robbed meat and bones 10r! You need to go to the nearby night to find the discount time of the salesperson and buy it quickly. (sold out in less than 15 minutes)

If it is inconvenient to buy food offline, you can use Meituan to buy food online and buy more food. Buying more vegetables in winter will be much better than in summer, and the price is sometimes more favorable than the vegetable market!

I bought a lot of food a few days ago.

You can decide your own work area before coming to Guangzhou. When you come to Guangzhou for the first time, try to choose a place with many companies, convenient commuting and many fast food restaurants and large supermarkets around. For example, Chebeinan, Shipaiqiao, Xicun and Tancun.

There are two suggestions for renting a house:

Be sure to ask whether the water and electricity are used by ordinary people. Don't choose a house with high water and electricity costs but low rent. Wool is on sheep. If you are a second-hand landlord, try to choose a house with electricity fee 1r/ kWh and water fee not exceeding 5r/ ton, otherwise you should try to save money and send it all to the landlord.

Ok:

Of course it's an electric car!

Although the traffic in Guangzhou is still very developed, sardines on the subway or traffic jams on buses will make people feel unhappy! If you are close, you can consider an electric car. Can commute quickly. The temperature in Guangzhou is comfortable most of the time. Shortening commuting time means shortening the distance to freedom! Remember to obey the traffic rules and wear a helmet ~

Other aspects:

Daily necessities: You can compare the prices of Taobao, JD.COM and Pinduoduo at the time of Double Eleven, Double Twelve, 6 18, see clearly the grade+weight of paper towels, grams of laundry softener, use a calculator to knock out the price/kg, and then compare the brands, so that you can screen out the products with the highest cost performance, which can be stored for half a year at a time.

Shampoo and shower gel can be used offline to see if there are any good ones around this store. Products are often discounted recently, which is very cost-effective. Usually 80+ bottles of Nissan Shiseido shampoo only cost 30+.

Recommended offline stores: Haomai, Meisi Bai Le and Yonghui Supermarket.

Recommended online websites: Taobao, Pinduoduo, JD.COM, what is worth buying (you can search for the latest discounted goods, the whole network covers, and the buttoned stars are worth having).

Eat, drink and be merry:

Because I really didn't have the money to pay my debts before, but I didn't want to work too hard, I summed up these ideas after groping and can learn from them.

1. Post on Xiaohongshu or Douban, find someone to play with, spend money on AA meals, and have fun. Under normal circumstances, the average person does not exceed 50r.

KTV here in Liwan District has the cheapest sub-card, and 99 yuan sings three times, with a time limit of three hours between 10:00- 15:00 on weekdays. You can buy it in Meituan. Milk tea or dessert can be searched by Meituan, and sometimes you can get 9.9 cups of tea or 1 tea to save the earth.

2. Fishing in the Pearl River

Buy children's fishing rod+earthworm+fishhook in Pinduoduo. Earthworms can be bought and fed with kitchen waste, fruits and vegetables, and then go fishing. Those who dare not touch earthworms can buy a pack of bait. In order to kill time, fish can be served, caught and eaten or cooked for stray cats. Many stray cats in Guangzhou can cook at will, which can also ease the anxiety of big cities.

I caught my own fish.

Grow vegetables on the balcony

If you rent a house with a small balcony or window sill facing the sun, you can plant some small vegetables and watch them grow from seeds to seedlings. It is really a cure! A foam box picked up in the vegetable market+soil dug by yourself+a bag of seeds can become a farmer!

Grow your own vegetables

With these, my partner and I spent no more than 2k per month (excluding medical expenses and rent), and successfully paid off the debt of 10w in one and a half years, and then turned over and sang!

These are my money-saving suggestions, hoping to help my friends who are in trouble like me. Just like the American TV series "Our Days" said: Even if life brings you lemon-like bitterness, it can be as sweet as lemonade! You can live well even if you are poor!
