Raising children costs too much. What are the good ways to save money?

I am a one-year-old nanny, and raising children is really expensive. This must be shared more.

Combined with my communication and exploration experience, I summarize as follows:

First, don't stock up.

Stockpiling is a common problem of almost all pregnant mothers and treasure mothers. It seems that it may be used, I heard that it may be used, thinking that it may be used ... regardless of the consequences, hoard it! I think it's very economical, wrong! Unused things are wasteful and take up a lot of space. As the baby grows up and there are more and more things, parents should worry about the storage problem, waste money and worry.

Second, online purchase.

Some treasure moms are afraid to buy online. Actually, don't worry. Choosing the right platform is very important. I usually buy Kao diapers, Nestle Nengren milk powder and baby clothes toys online. Generally, Jumeiyou (Jisu Duty Free Shop), Tmall International and official website, Suning.cn are used to choosing.

Third, look at reality.

Proper purchase, practicality as the principle, baby as the center, not blindly following the trend, not pursuing big brands, is also the most worthwhile economic consumption mode.

There are many ways to save money. In fact, there is no need to dress too well in this respect. When my eldest daughter was born, the clothes belonged to her aunt. My sister is only three years older than my daughter [covering her face]. Aunt's clothes will be patched at last. I couldn't wear it, and then I was eliminated. If there are toys, there are some toys at home. Many parents think that little toy is cute and especially want to buy it for their children. In fact, it is ok for children to buy two or three toys. If so, I think it's better to buy that kind of educational toy. Developing the brain can also save some money. I also bought that story book for my children at that time. Actually, you don't have to buy so many story books and so on. Just buy some books.

Raising children is really expensive.

How to save money?

First, wear

Many people are very concerned about their children wearing other people's old clothes. I think they still care about their faces.

Actually, it's no big deal to wear other people's children's old clothes. There is a saying in some places that children can wear hundreds of clothes and they can support themselves. In addition, old clothes feel softer and more comfortable to wear after being washed many times. As for harmful substances such as formaldehyde, they are only found on new clothes. Besides, living conditions are good now, children are growing fast, and old clothes are basically 70% to 80% new.

But we should also pay attention to old clothes. It is best to choose familiar relatives and friends who know the root of the matter, and the children are in good health and have never had infectious diseases. After you get it back, you'd better clean and disinfect it.

Second, good health.

It must be a big expense to see a doctor and take medicine, especially for children before the age of three. It is common to go to the hospital for three days with a cold and cough. At present, the medical expenses of two or three hundred dollars have accumulated over time, which is not a small amount.

Therefore, a healthy child is also the key to saving money. On weekdays, we should take our children out for a walk, bask in the sun, run and jump, do more exercise and keep fit.

Third, books.

Books are indispensable, from the initial color cards, literacy cards, pictograms and picture books, to later children's books and fairy tales, to extracurricular reading and Chinese and foreign masterpieces. But books nowadays are really not cheap.

Parents can use the library near their home and get a free library card, which can not only read books, but also lend them out. Besides, the bookstore is also a good place. Now many bookstores have reading areas, where you can read books for free and kill a day.

In addition, if relatives and friends have older children at home, they can not only ask for old clothes, but also take old books home together.

Fourth, eat

Normal meals must not be saved, vegetables and fruits can be saved, but snacks can not be eaten, which is unhealthy and costly.

Raising a child is not easy. If you plan carefully, you can save money if you can.

Since the baby was born, the consumption balance at home began to tilt towards the baby. With the growth of children's age, the consumption level is gradually improving, but I think that as long as we grasp several general directions, the average family should be able to cope better.

Breast milk is the best food for babies. As long as the mother can persist, she will save worry and money. But it doesn't matter if there is no breast milk. Just eat milk powder. Do not blindly pursue imported milk powder. Now the state has very strict supervision over milk powder. Domestic formula can be bought for your baby with confidence, but you must look for national standards. After one year old, if the baby can eat three meals a day and eat enough fruits and vegetables, it can completely replace formula milk with milk, or replace it with milk and formula milk for the baby.

Many mothers start hoarding baby products when they are pregnant. For example, when they see cute clothes, they always think that the baby will look good in them, and they will buy more unconsciously. The baby grows very fast, and most clothes can only be worn for one season. If you want to save money, don't buy too many clothes at a time, just buy enough clothes to change seasons, and then buy them for your baby when the seasons change. So are diapers. It is often seen that mothers in the group have too many diapers at a time, and the baby can't wear them and then change hands at a low price. Although diapers are consumables, online shopping logistics is very fast now, and diapers are almost used up. It is more than enough to buy one week in advance.

Buy one toy for your child at a time, don't buy it in piles. There are not many expensive toys, so treasure moms should study what children of all ages can play with before buying them. It is best for parents to inspire other ways of playing this toy for a long time, which is more helpful to cultivate the baby's concentration.

Parents want the best for their children. Every parent has had this feeling, but we must do what we can. According to your own economic level, don't follow the trend and pursue products such as big-name imports. Choose what they can afford, which is safe and cost-effective. As long as their children are healthy, I believe a family will be happy and better.

Remember to get up tomorrow morning and buy him half a pack of instant noodles. Remember not to drink soup. Finish the noodles and put the soup in the refrigerator. At lunch, take the soup out of the refrigerator, roll it and drink it directly. At dinner, I will continue to give him the rest of the semi-instant noodles, and I will leave the soup for a snack at night, so I can spend the day.

1, Baijiayi is a good thing.

Many novice parents can't wait to buy all kinds of clothes for their children, and the children are drawing long clothes. A lot of clothes are worn several times and can only be worn after being turned out next year. Buy a bigger one. There are too many strange clothes. Only a bigger one won't last long.

Not to mention that new clothes often have high chemical odor and indicators. Generally, you have to wash it several times, and it will take some time to be healthy and green. It's not that you can take a picture with a small light. Therefore, it is very appropriate to get clothes worn by other children when they were children.

This kind of old clothes is generally safe and has no chemical residue. Just pick some cleaner ones. We have a child downstairs, whose clothes are basically old clothes that his mother asked relatives for. They are all new and beautiful.

Step 2 exchange toys

Children's toys are not a small expense, but in fact, buying them is only three minutes hot, and then throwing them away after playing for a few days.

When children are young, they really need to touch toys more, stimulate brain development by touching new things, and also entertain and educate. However, many toys are not cheap, and the bigger ones range from hundreds to thousands. . .

Later, when we were close together, we exchanged toys with each other. You played for my family for a while and I played for yours for a while. Children enjoy it and learn to share it. Adults also saved money and got more benefits.

3. Rent picture book toys

This was recommended to me by others. Children's picture books are generally not cheap, especially hardcover classic picture books, and a book can even catch up with lunch. And many children buy books that are not necessarily interested. Renting picture books is particularly good. If you are not interested, you will return them. If you are interested, buy an intensive reading.

Now there are many WeChat official account who can rent picture books online, and some offline picture books have this business. You can try.

4, make good use of interest classes to audition classes

When playing with children in squares or shopping malls, there are often training institutions holding toys for parents to buy audition classes. There is no need to stay away from this class. I always accept all the orders.

First of all, this kind of interest experience class is generally very cheap, and twenty or thirty yuan can send three or five classes. The toy just sent is worth this price; Moreover, for children before the age of 4, it is very important to find out their interests as early as possible, because after the age of 4, they have to transfer from early education classes to interest training classes (the characteristics of entering a higher school in Beijing can give extra points to their interests), so they can't check their interests one by one after signing up for classes and taking remedial classes for the last time (you said that I can usually see children's interests at home, but it is hard to think of some things without going to interest classes).

Therefore, before enrolling in the class, let the child experience the common interest classes in the market carpet, and lock in several directions by eliminating his reaction to participating in the interest classes, so that when he needs to enroll in the class, there will be many directions, so as not to be confused.

Besides, it is also a good place to walk the baby. Usually it costs one or two hundred yuan to accompany the baby to amusement parks and other places on weekends. Children are very tired when they go to the senior citizen card. Interest classes usually set up children's play areas in the lobby and put a lot of toys, so children have a good time.

Say that you are sending an interest class. Don't feel sorry that you are so small. Today's interest classes are different from those when we were children. Nowadays, interest classes are generally well designed. When you play, class is over. My son clamors for "class" every weekend. Nowadays, children often miss classes because interest classes are closed. Haha ~

5, the enlightenment course spelling.

Small step early education, zebra English and Twitter can all find parents who are fighting for classes in idle fish. There can be thousands of classes on the APP, and idle fish can fight with others for one or two hundred dollars, just like buying classes through official channels. The principle is that many introductory course merchants will bind several accounts to each parent who buys the course. The original intention is to facilitate grandparents or other family members to watch their children's learning progress online in real time. However, many flexible parents buy classes and hang them on idle fish. Therefore, before buying online classes for children, it may save you a lot of money to go to the idle fish to find out if there are any spelling accounts for sale.

All classes have spells, only those you can't think of.

Raising children is too expensive. What can I do to save money?

In fact, children are a consumable, just like marriage is a process of constant consumption from birth to adulthood. .

Just born, it costs a sum of money to be hospitalized. For the healthy growth of your child, many parents will choose to stay in hospital for a long time after the child is born to see if the child's body is normal and healthy. We can't let the children wear out after discharge. For the sake of children's future health, milk powder and diapers must be chosen, not the best, but also the best. This is a big expense!

Then the children will go to kindergarten, primary school, middle school and university when they grow up, and they will get married after graduation. Buying a car and a house is not all money. A child can't come down from childhood without 2 million.

So before giving birth to a child, you should think clearly. Don't give birth to him just for fun. He is life, not a toy. What you should think about is being responsible for him, not how to save money on him.

Personal point of view

Raising children costs too much. What are the good ways to save money?

Of course, raising children costs money. Eat, drink, and be merry. Lazar is made of money. However, according to the description of the subject, it should be worrying about spending money on choosing toys.

1. The cheapest way is to do it yourself. If the children are older, take them with you, that is, parents and children can cultivate their hands-on ability by the way.

2. Choose toys carefully. Choose toys with good brand quality and shop around; And cut to the points that children are interested in, such as favorite anime characters, so that children can play for longer. It is also important to agree on how often to buy it, otherwise it will be bought at buy buy in three days, which is very expensive without budget.

3. When you don't want to lose your child and embarrass your wallet, let your child save money to buy it at buy buy.

Raising children is too expensive. In fact, there are two kinds of psychology:

Everyone is a parent for the first time. Looking at this childish little life, we can't let it go every day and want to give it all to him/her.

Therefore, if someone else's child uses it well, I will use it well for her.

The reason is found, so the solution is actually very simple.

Give up and give your child the best psychology.

10000 clothes can be worn, and 100 clothes can be worn. Of course, there will be differences, but wearing clothes of 10000 yuan does not necessarily mean that children will be like this.

If you like clothes, it is ok to find relatives and friends to get some clothes that my brother and sister used to wear. My brother and sister will definitely not wear too badly. This depends on the mentality of parents. Many parents have a lot of backbone in this respect and are unwilling to "pick" other children's clothes to wear. Judging from my mentality, my husband and I have no taboos in this respect, and we will not take the initiative to ask others for it. If someone gives it to me, I will give it to my staff and buy some fruit in return to express my gratitude. Next time I meet my sister, I will generously introduce her to my daughter. Look, this skirt was worn by my sister before ~

Then second-hand Taobao, buy some when promoting activities, remember not to hoard goods, because you will find that children's things will soon be useless;

The starting line is really different.

You can never compare with others, so give up comparing with others.

That's almost it. We don't want the best, and we don't give our children the worst. Our consistent proposition is that we have the ability to do many things, and we can buy a dress for our children for tens of dollars, which is also quite good, and the fabric is no problem.

Interest classes enroll some children. If money is tight, choose 2-3 classes, don't be like other children. Just enrolling in English for one year is100000. Of course, it's a local tyrant drifting ~

Raising children is like a bottomless pit. You can spend as much money as you want, but on the other hand, you can actually raise children with a little money.

Because of the previous scandals such as melamine, domestic milk powder was once blackened, and parents did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy foreign milk powder. In recent years, the country has also stepped up the rectification efforts in this area, and the domestic milk powder of big brands can still be trusted, and the price is much lower. Similarly, many children have good domestic brands for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but many times we are too superstitious about foreign brands. Choosing the right domestic brand can give children a good experience and has great advantages in price. Don't underestimate milk powder, diapers and lotion, which add up to a lot of expenses.

The same is true of toys. Thomas, Lego and Barbie are all children's favorites, but the prices are very high. A set of Legos ranges from 100 to 200, with thousands more. In fact, many domestic toy brands can be replaced, and the quality is not inferior. For example, Bangbao, as long as toys are safe and environmentally friendly, children can use them if they like, and there is no need to pursue brands.

Many children around go to various extracurricular classes, not to mention academic ones, and there are many sports and arts. In fact, these can certainly improve children's comprehensive ability, but they are not necessary. Parents should put more energy into helping their children develop good study habits, which can also improve their grades. In other ways, you can also take your child to experience it. For example, many parents now spend a lot of money to let their children learn football, basketball and roller skating. In fact, if children don't have this talent and don't rely on this talent to make a living in the future, then if they just use it as an interest to enrich their children's lives, then they don't have to sign up for classes at all. Parents can take their children to exercise on rest days. Dad likes playing football, so he takes his children to play. He likes playing basketball, so there is no need for formal and professional classes. For children, it is good to be happy. Of course, if you find that there are children who are particularly fond of and gifted, it is entirely possible to invest again, but you really don't have to sign up for a bunch of classes casually.

Our friends often organize children to exchange picture books and toys to let them know who bought new toys and picture books in the group, so that other families don't have to buy them, and everyone can exchange them, which not only saves money, but also cultivates the spirit of sharing among children.

Another example is tourism. That doesn't mean you have to go to the island. Going abroad is a wonderful trip. Maybe the parks near your home and the mountains in the suburbs are also good choices. As long as you accompany your children wholeheartedly, these places will always make them feel endless fun.

For example, we can make many toys and teaching AIDS by ourselves, and we can also bring our children together in the process. You will find that these seemingly crude toys are more popular with children than expensive finished toys.
