It's tiring and expensive in the Spring Festival. How to save energy easily and economically?

China people officially designated the first day of the Lunar New Year as the Spring Festival to celebrate it, with a history of only 1 10 years, that is, it began in 19 13 years. As early as before the establishment of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the farming people living in the Central Plains of China had the habit of celebrating the New Year at the end of the year. It was not until the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, 104 BC, that the court fixed the beginning of the New Year on the lunar calendar 1 month/day, which has been in use ever since.

In fact, China people are not the only people who have the habit of Spring Festival in the world. Celebrating the Spring Festival has become a part of East Asian culture. Influenced by East Asian culture, although the locals don't celebrate the Spring Festival, there are still many celebrations on this day in many western countries ~

Nowadays, the way to celebrate the Spring Festival changes with the times. Everyone began to pursue a relaxed and cost-effective way to celebrate the New Year. Today I will share some tips on saving money. If you need a happy holiday and want to save money, come and have a look ~

First, do you want to save money during the Spring Festival? -Prophet, what must be "hoarded"

What are you hoarding for the New Year?

Spring Festival couplets and red envelopes

Meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, dried vegetables, seasonings.

Snacks Nuts, Snacks, Fruits

Alcohol, beverages, milk, nutrients, etc. (for visiting relatives)

What are you determined not to buy for the New Year?

Don't buy clothes with a strong festive atmosphere. You can only wear Spring Festival clothes these days, which is too wasteful.

Don't buy snacks with many additives (the ingredients list is very long), which will hurt your health.

Don't buy bleached nuts, waxed fruits and expensive imported fruits.

Don't buy yogurt and other fake milk to send to your elders.

You can't eat all the candy you bought in bulk.

Don't hoard too many dishes to prevent rot and deterioration.

Second, do you want to save money during the Spring Festival? -How to buy goods?

Can it be online or offline (grasp the delivery time and place an order early)

Nuts, milk and snacks can be bought online. For example, I bought more than 9 New Year pictures online a few weeks ago, and I saw a similar 26.9 in the supermarket. There is no need to spend money on the difference. Pure milk brought by visiting relatives and friends is about 120 in the supermarket, and online shopping is only about 80%.

Some people may think that big packaging is cheap, but in fact, if you don't like some sweets at ordinary times and have the need to entertain guests, you might as well buy some to avoid waste.

Reasonable hoarding before the holiday

The price of vegetarian dishes in the Spring Festival is comparable to that of meat dishes, such as garlic is more than ten yuan a catty, garlic is more than twenty yuan a catty, green onions are several yuan a catty and so on. For this kind of vegetarian dishes that can be properly stored, you can buy them in advance and store them after packaging, so as to avoid buying them now in the first month and hurting money.

Alcohol and tobacco Zhao Shuren wholesale

For some people who need to visit many relatives of their elders, they need to prepare a lot of alcohol and tobacco, and small counties can always find acquaintances to get preferential prices. A little discount is a little.

Make a shopping list

As the old saying goes, make a shopping list and buy as needed. You can buy or not buy, not buy or buy less. Some people may feel that they have earned money for a year, so they don't have to haggle over the Chinese New Year. They should have face and spend it happily. Personally, I think it is not easy to make money, especially in the past three years. Planting flowers can also entertain relatives and friends.

Third, do you want to save money during the Spring Festival? -What should I pay attention to when traveling?

Nowadays, many young people like to travel during the Spring Festival. Here are some very low-cost tips for saving money on travel:

Food, shelter and transportation are the hardest hard expenses to avoid.

Eat:

Wealth is frugal, bread and instant noodles, simple meals and big meals, with yourself.

Volkswagen, Meituan and Xiaojie are all good choices.

Live broadcast:

If you have about a month's time and don't want to punch in, then the cost of volunteer travel is completely low, and the cost of food and accommodation is zero. The boss usually shows you around.

If time is limited, beds in youth hostels are a low-cost option, ranging from 40- 100, and the location is usually good.

The local bathing and steaming shop is really a good choice. It costs about 80- 130 to buy a person. Although it is more expensive than a bed, it is also very profitable to pack two meals, take a comfortable bath, read books and watch movies, and add 20 for the night. (The same idea is that night KTV is also extremely low cost. )

Various social platforms will have some activities to search for "trying to sleep". Some famous hotels offer places to try to sleep. In exchange, you provide text for sleep test feedback, and post photos on social platforms (which requires a certain degree of text photography ability).

Ok:

Air ticket prices fluctuate the most. Pay attention 10 days in advance. If you fly frequently, you can really save a lot by applying for membership.

The railway can choose a sleeper, which can save one night's accommodation.

Baggage expenses

I don't know if you have seen the phenomenon that the clothes on your luggage are too thick/too thin, the clothes and pants don't match, the photos are ugly, you don't wear them when you take them out, and your underwear won't dry when you take them back.

So my suggestion is:

1, a pair of durable "platform shoes" on your feet and a pair of thin boxes.

2, underwear can be used once.

Try on your clothes before you go out, and then put them in different bags, and two or three sets will be almost the same (since then, there has never been a phenomenon of bringing them back without clothes, saving a lot of time. Students must use it! ! ! )

Although the weather forecast is not so accurate, you should watch it before you go out!

5. Want to save money during the Spring Festival? -How to choose family activities?

1. Take a group photo with the whole family and cherish every gathering.

Think about how long it's been since the whole family took a neat family photo together. Many people work outside the home all the year round, and only go home to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival, and take a family photo with their long-lost families during the Spring Festival? Once a year, put it in a book to witness the growth of time.

2. Post Spring Festival couplets, cut window grilles and hang lanterns.

Sticking Spring Festival couplets is the most important part of the traditional culture of the Spring Festival. It is meaningful to write big "spring" or "blessing" on red paper in all directions with a brush. In the process of personal preparation, the whole family and Mei Mei will stick Spring Festival couplets to every household. Although it is a small matter, the meaning of doing it together is completely different.

Step 3 play mahjong together

Family reunion in the Spring Festival, find the laughter and laughter of reunion with elders and friends at the poker table, and play mahjong in the Spring Festival, which is more interesting and can convey family affection.

4. Hold a family Spring Festival party together.

Every family prepares performances and plans to play games to unite Qi Xin, increase family cohesion and have a happy and unforgettable Spring Festival.

5. Watch the sunrise together.

"Sunrise" has many positive meanings, symbolizing vitality and new hope. Watching the sunrise together on the first day of the new year indicates that the new year will be full of vitality and hope.
