● Food expenses

Eating this part can be said to be the biggest variable affecting the baby's living expenses. Some babies practice cooking well before going abroad and start cooking by themselves when they arrive in the United States. This can not only eat healthily and save money, but also be a shortcut to accumulate contacts for yourself.

Just "eat" this piece, take a look at some ingredients or foods that people contact most often in their daily lives, and experience the prices in San Francisco ~

At the end of the day, a normal brunch costs about 25 yuan. It costs about $750 a month.

● Transportation expenses

As a "country on wheels", most universities of American imperialists are located in "big countryside" with a certain distance from the city. Therefore, driving in and out is inevitable.

Many large supermarkets in America are in the suburbs. As far as oil prices are concerned, San Francisco is $2.84 per gallon. If you arrive in the United States for the first time and don't drive, then the bus card is about 64 yuan for one month.

● Other miscellaneous expenses

There are also some miscellaneous expenses, such as daily necessities, telephone charges and so on. If boys don't pay attention, the daily necessities such as toothbrush, toothpaste, washing powder and shampoo add up to about 100 yuan? Considering that sister paper has different brands of skin care products, it is hard to estimate.

Another incidental expense that I have to say is the haircut! In the United States, a haircut is actually quite expensive, but a shampoo should be cut short at least in 30 yuan. It is no problem for students to practice by themselves. When American friends cut each other's hair, everyone is teacher Tony ~

The telephone bill can be estimated slightly. The price of T-Mobile unlimited data traffic is 95 yuan for one month, which is very good. Unlimited data traffic in the country, free phone messages, fast LTE! You can choose other packages, or share a family plan with friends, probably around 50 yuan.

Important reminder: Don't get sick and don't take medicine! It is difficult to see a doctor, but it is expensive!
