钱是靠省出来的：九大省钱妙招教你这样过日子

Do your own work instead of getting someone else to do it for you. Prepare a cup of coffee rather than heading to Starbucks. These will do wonders to your savings.
自己做工作，而不是让别人来帮你。比起去星巴克，最好还是自己做一杯咖啡。这些对留住你的储蓄会有帮助。

6. Buy in bulk
批量购买

Whenever possible, prefer to buy in bulk. You can’t imagine how much you can save this way. Non-perishable goods can be bought at wholesale rate and and safely stashed away in the store-room for future use.
如果可以的话，东西可以批量购买，你无法想象用这种方法你可以节约多少。不易腐的货物可以按照批发价购买，然后放在储藏间，以后仍然可以使用。

7. Pay bills on time
按时付账单

How many times have you had to fork out late fees when you forgot to pay your electricity bills or were too busy to pay your phone bills? These unnecessary expenditures can be safely avoided by being a little more cautious.
有多少次你不得不为了那些忘记付的电费或者电话费缴纳滞纳金？这些不必要的开支稍微谨慎一些就能避免。

8. Prefer borrowing to buying and old to new
借用或者买二手商品

We don’t expect you to go borrow your neighbor’s juicer, but you are definitely encouraged to at leastborrow books from the library or your friends. When you can’t help buying, buy used books rather than brand new ones.
我们并不是让你借你邻居的榨汁机，但是你至少可以在图书馆或者朋友那里借书看。如果你必须要买，最好是买二手书而不是新书。

9. Avoid brands
避免过于关注品牌

More often than not, the regular shampoo has the same ingredients and is as good as, if not better than,the branded ones. The same goes with clothes and other stuff. Don’t be brand obsessed. Buy branded things only when you are sure that they are superior and to and have more utility than the goods on the shelf.
通常，普通的洗发水即使不比品牌的好，成分也是差不多的。衣服和其他东西也是一样的，不要着迷于品牌。只有当你确定品牌的东西更加卓越和实用时再去购买它。
