Thrift and frugality are regarded as the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, but with the development of the market economy and the rise of consumerism, thrift seems to be equated with stinginess in the eyes of many people. Especially for many young people, overspending has become a fashion, a trend, and do not know what thrift is. However, in recent years, the situation is also undergoing a quiet change, the new frugalism began to be more and more young people respected, favored, a new consumption pattern is emerging.

The so-called new thriftism is different from traditional thrift, nor is it stingy in the general sense, but in the pursuit of saving money, the pursuit of cost-effective basis, should not spend a penny of money are not spent, at the same time, should spend a penny of money are not saved.

However, for many young people, practicing the new frugalism is not an easy thing to do, and first of all, you need to be able to save money, to save money. Their practice of saving money is usually woolgathering on major websites, that is, by using coupons, discount cards, and participating in various promotional activities held by merchants to shop, so as to meet their basic needs of life on the basis of saving themselves every penny they can save.

The process of saving money also requires a high degree of self-restraint, which is why some people say that the new frugalism reflects a rare sense of consumer self-discipline among contemporary young people. This is because we are in a commodity society, almost every moment we have to face the temptation of all kinds of external material, but in the case of our fixed income, if we spend money here, it will not be able to spend money there, only strict self-discipline, live within your means, so as not to spend money indiscriminately, and only then will accumulate a small amount of money into a large amount of money saved.
