The lifestyle of each family is very different.
Most families rely on their mothers to take care of the family's food and living, although doing housework is not necessary for mothers, but mothers can be relatively more handy.
After all, Mom's level of care is better than Dad's, especially when it comes to collecting various discounted goods, Mom's sensitivity is much better than Dad's.
The "money-saving mother" in the United States raises a family of 7 at low cost and purchases once every six months
An American mother often shares this shopping method on her public platform: every six months to purchase daily necessities, pasta, flour, eggs, canned food are also dozens of pieces of purchase.
This way of shopping has led to most of the living space in their home being turned into storage space, and even the bathroom has to be divided into ordinary spaces to store food.
And the mom's explanation for her behavior is: very economical! Wholesale purchase of goods than scattered purchases save a lot of money, rough statistics such purchases can save 3,000 to 5,000 US dollars per year.
In this way, in her family of 7, the annual living expenses of less than 6,000 US dollars are simply an extremely economical family, which makes many mothers ashamed.
Is shopping like this shrewd or stupid?
Square: Eat these things anyway, as long as the shelf life is not enough
In this mother's shopping list, most of them are long-shelf life products, such as canned and flour items, even if they are not bought at home, they are stored in the supermarket.
Moreover, every budget-conscious housewife should know that the price of large-packaged and large-capacity goods must be lower than that of small-packaged goods, which is where the gap between wholesale and retail lies.
In this way, anyway, the consumption of their own home is large, and it is not a strange thing to buy a lot of goods at one time! On the contrary, we still want to promote this concept of life!
Isn't the reason we're only superficially in favor of it because our home isn't big enough? If you can fit these things, you will definitely copy them.
Counter: Long shelf life food can be stored, what about short-term fresh vegetables and fruits?
In her family, there are a total of 5 children, the oldest child and the youngest child is less than 7 years old, they are in the critical period of growing up, the demand for food must be very high.
But in this family, we can only see long-shelf life food, but can not see the figure of fresh vegetables and fruits, do not American children need to eat vegetables and fruits?
Isn't that because this type of food is not suitable for this type of storage? We all know that the storage time of fresh vegetables and fruits is not more than one week at most, if you buy it once every six months, it is difficult to eat dried fruit!
Therefore, this way of buying is not as worthy of our imagination, after all, our domestic children are not advocated to eat too much canned food, which is why most families choose retail shopping.
Neutral: We see only a small part, who knows what her life will look like?
For the information on the Internet, it is best to take a half-hearted attitude, just like the behavior of this money-saving mother who purchases once every six months.
All we see is what this mom wants to show us, just to show her budgetary strengths and the spacious living space at home.
On the contrary, the quality of life that her family sacrificed to save money is not known, and we do not know what her family is going through, so naturally we should not listen to the wind and rain!
What if this mother is making a scene? In order to shape their own money-saving people and deliberately do it, the mothers still have to polish their eyes, do not be confused by the superficial phenomenon!
Alpaca mom has something to say:
Every child's growth is a "one-time" behavior that cannot be repeated and cannot be stopped, whether it is injury or help, it will leave permanent damage to the child.
In this way, mothers must not make unnecessary attempts, just like blindly imitating this mother to save money, even if it is not to save money in shopping, but to save money in education, it is not advisable.
After all, a mother who saves money cannot cultivate a confident and self-reliant child, and even aggravates the child's inferiority and rebellious psychology!
