In recent days, I have seen a very interesting topic on the Internet: it is about the "ineffective thrift" behaviors in life.
The original intention of these "ineffective thrift" behaviors is to save money and money. As a result, it all ends with "spend more money", and the process in the middle is still very hard.
Today, I will take stock of the "ineffective thrift" behaviors in life that are very hard but useless. After reading it, I burst into tears, all of which are common diseases of poor families.
1. Diet: small thrift, big problems with eating
1. Put the newly bought fresh vegetables in the refrigerator and freeze them first, and then eat the previously frozen food first. As a result, you don't get the freshest food at every meal. Although the refrigerator can store food, the taste is definitely poor. If it is frozen for too long, it can easily cause a burden on the stomach.
2. Spend the packing fee to pack the uneaten leftovers home, put them in the refrigerator and don't eat them. Wasted packing fees and had to clean the fridge.
3. In order to save money and eat healthy vegetables, I spent money to buy vegetable seedlings, nutrient soil, small hoes, watering cans and other planting tools. I spent a lot of money and tossed for months, but I didn't even eat a green onion.
4. I didn't eat dinner in order to lose weight, and I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. Outcome. Climb up to order takeout and eat supper. Not only does it cost more, but it also grows meat.
5. Fruits that begin to rot are reluctant to be thrown away, so eat rotten ones first. The fruit that was originally intact also began to rot, and as a result, I ate a whole box of rotten fruit.
6. It is more economical to make baking and desserts by yourself, and you can buy the materials and tools home. As a result, it was only done once or twice, and the materials and tools were deserted, which was more expensive than buying the finished product directly.
7. Working outside, occasionally cooking on a whim. I bought a lot of seasonings, but I couldn't make them a few times a month. The seasonings are all broken, and they are more expensive than the next restaurant.
2. Travel: save a little money, but lose a lot of money
8. Seeing the news of rising oil prices, go out to refuel in the middle of the night. As a result, the nearby gas station ran out of gas. It took a big turn and a dozen kilometers to refuel. In order to save more than a dozen yuan in fuel costs, he ran more than ten kilometers. Not only did it not save money, but it even discounted the fuel fee.
9. In order to save some taxi fares, choose shared bicycles. As a result, he rode out of the scope of operation and was fined dozens of yuan.
10. In order to save 1 yuan of bus fare, walk for more than ten or twenty minutes. As a result, I went thirsty and bought a bottle of drink for several dollars.
11. In order to save a few dollars in parking fees, take the risk of parking your car on the side of the road. As a result, he was ticketed and fined 100-200 yuan.
12. In order to save a few dollars in car wash fees, I washed my car with a bucket. Waste a lot of time, not to mention, make scratches and have to pay upside down.
13. In order to save 300 yuan in moving expenses, ask colleagues and friends to help you move. Not only did he owe favors, but he also spent 500 yuan to invite everyone to dinner, which was a big loss.
3. Shopping: patchwork for full reduction, discount, like "flat"
14. When ordering food, I picked the cheapest one, but the taste was poor and the portion was small, and I had to order my favorite food again.
15. When I look at a certain type of clothing, I feel that the price is too expensive. In order to save money to buy a "high imitation" for "replacement", the effect was much worse, and in the end I gritted my teeth and bought the genuine product.
16. The picture is cheap, and you can buy a cheap mobile phone holder in a group. The result was of poor quality and did not hold. The phone fell to the floor, the screen was broken, and it cost hundreds of dollars in repairs.
17. The shopping festival is a group purchase of many items, but the result is not used up at all, and it can only be thrown away when it expires.
18. In order to make up the bill, I bought some things that I didn't need at all. As a result, it is not used at all, and it still occupies space.
19. Oversized bottles of drinks seem to be more cost-effective. But I couldn't finish it at all, and I had to throw it away after opening it for too long.
20. I bought food at a discount, but I didn't eat it when it expired. The clothes bought at a discount have been kept in the closet, and in the end they can only be donated.
21. Online shopping did not buy freight insurance, 60 yuan shoes do not fit, reluctant to spend 10 yuan on freight. As a result, the shoes were not worn once, and they were placed in the corner to eat dust. 50 pieces were lost, and the space was also occupied.
Fourth, other aspects: in order to save money, ignoring "invisible consumption";
22. In the summer, in order to save some air-conditioning costs, I went to the mall to rub the air conditioner. As a result, milk tea and snacks cost dozens of yuan, which is more expensive than blowing an air conditioner at home.
23. Running on a treadmill at home feels too wasteful of electricity. went out for a run, but I didn't resist the temptation of barbecue, and spent dozens of yuan to eat.
24. For the sake of "gold coins" worth a few cents, desperately swipe the APP advertisement. Wasted traffic and electricity bills far outweigh revenues.
25. I was reluctant to spend a small amount of money to see a minor illness, but it turned out to be a major illness. Not only did I suffer a lot, but I also had to spend a lot of money on medical expenses in the end.
26. Usually frugal and reluctant to eat or drink. Playing cards and mahjong with friends on weekends, a loss is hundreds or thousands of dollars.
27. For cardboard boxes and beverage bottles of a few dollars a catty, it occupies a house of tens of thousands of yuan per square meter. It not only affects the appearance, but also affects lighting and ventilation, breeding bacteria and viruses. This account, no matter how you calculate it, is a blood loss.
