A few days ago, I talked to a friend about the cost of living, and my friend said that his family of six had to spend more than 4,000 yuan a month to buy vegetables, and it was just to buy vegetables, not including fruits and snacks. If you add these, it will cost at least 6000-7000 yuan, and I don't dare to say that I dare to come out, I have a pension of 2300 a month, how dare I spend money like this!
To be honest, I really don't think it costs much to live on. My daughter and I live together, I feel that 1000 yuan of living expenses, living very well, you may not believe it, you don't have to go out of the door to buy vegetables, each door-to-door delivery platform received a volume and then buy more than 18 yuan free door-to-door delivery, generally full 20 yuan can have 6 yuan of volume, I generally buy 30 yuan of things minus 6 yuan, 24 yuan can buy 9.9 a yellow croaker, 8.5 yuan and a half pound of shrimp, 9.9 yuan 450g of pork bones, sometimes you can eat for two days, because my daughter is middle-aged and does not come back to eat. I'll take a bite of egg noodles at noon.
Usual dishes, go grocery shopping around 7 p.m., cabbage, potatoes, cabbage, bean sprouts, radish, pumpkin anyway. Regardless of the freshness in the morning and evening, it is almost the same. But the prices are all 5% off, and you can withstand buying 10 yuan of vegetables a week.
Breakfast buns, steamed buns, pumpkin pie, cabbage bean sprout rolls, soy milk to make your own. A breakfast for two people costs 5 yuan is enough.
Eggs to buy in wholesale stores, more than 5 catties of wholesale price, cheaper than the supermarket 1.5 yuan a catty, now it is 3.2 yuan a catty, a catty has 8-9, 0.35 a is very cheap, and the breakfast shop tea eggs sell for 2 yuan a piece, so how to spend the money is very different.
Now the meat is also cheap, lean meat 10 yuan a catty, Qiange meat 8 yuan a catty, usually buy some woks bamboo shoots, carrots, fried cabbage, anyway, almighty fried, lard, 3 yuan a catty, buy 10 yuan can boil a big pot, eat for a month.
The fruit is bought by my daughter, and I usually meet people who pull a whole car to sell, 30 yuan a bag of 10 catties, small but sweet. I haven't eaten it for half a month, people have a slow metabolism when they are old, they have to resist sugar, they don't dare to eat fruits, and they don't usually like to eat snacks, so it's also more economical.
You may say that this day is really economical. My pension is only 2,300, and spending 1,000 yuan on living expenses is the peak. Otherwise, when she gets old, she won't be able to make money, and if she has to rely on her daughter in the future, she will be under too much pressure.
I really don't understand why some people say that they get 3,000-4,000 yuan a month for buying vegetables and eating, and those who have money will forget it, and they will earn 4,000-5,000 a month, and the living expenses will be spent a lot, and the family of 3-4 people, if the child is sick, he must not ask someone to borrow money.
In fact, my brother's family is like this, my brother's monthly salary is more than 6,000, my brother-in-law doesn't go to work, my brother gives 5,000 yuan for living expenses, my brother-in-law spends money without a plan, moonlight, the child is sick, take a cold, cough medicine and have to ask me to borrow 300-500.
I really don't understand where my brother and daughter-in-law spend 5,000 yuan a month, and I don't buy big items at home, such as air conditioners, washing machines, etc. The child does not eat milk powder and drinks breast milk, only to buy some diapers, which is enough to spend 150 yuan a month. If you want to say that she eats, I went to his house and didn't see that it was very good. Let's talk about wearing it, my brother-in-law and children's clothes are all Pinduoduo.
I'm also embarrassed to ask her where the money was spent, are there any relatives with the same style to tell her where she spent the money?
Anyway, I don't think I need so much money for living expenses, my family is 1,000 yuan a month for two people, there are fish, meat, and the living arrangements are okay, and I can't spend it at all. How much does it cost your family to buy groceries and cook in a month?
