Tips for saving money by studying in Switzerland

First, daily necessities-aiming at "debt repayment materials" stores

If there is a discount in the supermarket, you can store more non-perishable daily necessities, such as shampoo, toilet paper, toothpaste, washing powder and so on. In addition, in almost every state of Switzerland, there is the sten store of OttosWarenpo, an American investment immigration project. This store mainly sells goods sold at ultra-low prices due to bankruptcy or other reasons, which is somewhat similar to the domestic "debt-paying materials monopoly store". If you want to buy new and cheaper furniture and kitchen supplies, you can consider it. The only drawback is that the style of the goods is a little old and the quality is average.

Like many European countries, Christmas is the biggest discount season in Switzerland. This period is also a good opportunity to buy gifts for relatives and friends in China. Especially Swiss watches, some classic watch shops will fold in half, which is a good choice, but you must see clearly that it is "SWISSMADE".

Second, food is the cheapest half an hour before the supermarket closes.

In Switzerland, consumption is extremely high. A chicken costs 7 Swiss francs (Swiss francs, 1 Swiss francs is equivalent to 6.5 yuan RMB), and at least 10 Swiss francs must be prepared every day to fill the stomach.

Usually there are many discounts in the supermarket on Fridays. The best shopping time every day is half an hour before the supermarket closes. Many foods that cannot be sold every other day are half price, such as cakes, salads, bread, fast food, cooked food and some meat products. Swiss meat is very expensive, but China's favorite elbow is relatively cheap here. Students who can cook may wish to give themselves a braised elbow from time to time. Swiss pig's trotters are neatly packed in MIGROS and put in the counter, which is almost free. People who often eat instant noodles can use pig's trotters soup to increase nutrition. Those who love fish can consider canned fish. Canned Swiss fish is fresh, diverse and cheap. Carrefour's meat, vegetables and fruits are cheaper than COOP and MIGROS. If you are close, you might as well go shopping at Carrefour once a week.

Of course, if it is close to Germany, it is more appropriate to go to Germany to buy food. COOP supermarket has several kinds of cakes, such as Schwarzwaelder, which can be "robbed" when there is a discount.

Third, accommodation-"working for rent" is much more affordable.

There are many empty nesters in Switzerland. They live alone in big houses and are very lonely, while young students, especially international students, are worried about the high rent in big cities. To this end, the Swiss government thought of forming these two types of people into a "temporary new family", which not only solved the problem of renting houses for young students, but also helped the elderly to do housework. /zd/lx
