Second-hand appliances are also very easy to use.

Electrical appliances in Japan are very cheap, but if you want to save more money, you can buy second-hand household appliances. When graduating seniors leave school, they will put unused household appliances in the corridor for the next class to choose. These home appliances have only been used for two or three years, and they are all 60% to 70% new. Of course, some of them are sold to freshmen, usually for a few hundred yen. This alone can save about 20,000 yen (about 1400 RMB).

If you want to buy a camera online, recommend www.kakaku.com. You can shop around online and choose the cheapest store, which is about 10% cheaper than the physical store, and there is also credit guarantee.

As for daily necessities, we should make full use of the 100-yuan store. One hundred dollar stores in Japan are equivalent to two dollar stores in China, including cups, cushions, washbasins, washing powder, clothes hangers, slippers, brooms, hooks, schoolbags and so on. Even sunflowers for home improvement can be found here, and the quality is excellent.

When buying clothes, discounts are given in different seasons, which naturally saves nearly half the price. For example, a cashmere coat of 65,438+10,000 yen is less than 50,000 yen when it changes seasons. As for Uniqlo, the favorite of Shanghai white-collar workers, the price is cheaper in Japan.

Cosmetics should be bought in a drugstore. There are many drugstores in Japan, such as Matusmoto kyoshi, which are cheap and complete and suitable for students.

I'm calling to buy an online calling card from China. It saves more than half as much as the calling card used on the landline.

Chicken, fish and shrimp have the highest cost performance

Beef in Japan is the most expensive, 100g is about 200 yen, 1 kg is equivalent to more than 70 RMB, pork and fish are also very expensive, and a bag of instant noodles is the cheapest100 yen. Relatively speaking, Japanese chicken and fish and shrimp are cheaper. Therefore, to maintain a balanced nutrition, eat more chicken, fish and shrimp, supplemented by vegetables. In addition, the juice is over-valued, and 100 yen can buy a large barrel.

Several international students can also go to the canteen to eat fast food, such as pizza, hot pot, barbecue and other hodgepodge. , only 1000 yen per person. It is usually the cheapest to enter the restaurant from 0 am to 3 pm.

Make full use of supermarket discounts. Generally, supermarkets in Japan will have a discount on box lunch and sushi at some time in the evening, and sashimi will be half price at night, with a small box of 100 yen. Some supermarkets will offer discounts after 10 in summer and after 8 pm in winter. Between 50% and 50%.

In addition, every Sunday, the shopping bars in some supermarkets will turn pink. If the pink bar is full of 10000 yen, it can be exchanged for 500 yen cash coupons, so bulk shopping such as rice and noodles can wait until Sunday.

Take a taxi to bargain.

When going out in Tokyo, you should make the best use of public transport such as urban light rail or subway. The monthly ticket for students in Tokyo Metro is 5,000 yen a month, and the light rail is only 2,500 yen a month. If you buy a three-month pass, it's only 7 100 yen.

However, the transportation network in Tokyo is complex, and even people who have lived for more than ten years will inevitably get lost. Therefore, the best way is to check the route online in advance before traveling. The traffic map on the Internet in Japan is very accurate. It will tell you the time spent, the fare, how to wait for the bus and so on.

Taking a taxi in Japan is very expensive, starting from 660 yen, and the watch jumps very fast. I don't often take a taxi for a few days, but if several people take a taxi together, they can bargain with the driver.

Another economical and environmentally friendly way is to ride a bike. If it is not far from school to work every day, it is better to buy a bike.

School dormitory is the most affordable.

The cost of the student dormitory in Tokyo University for one year, plus gas, water and electricity, is about 13000 yen; If you rent a house outside, three people will share 6.5438+0.2 million yen/month. Students who want to rent a house can go to the college life cooperation group or the housing agency to find their favorite house, and they need to sign a contract when they move in. In order to prevent future disputes, you must read the contract carefully and fully understand the content before signing it.

Tuition is also a big expense. Many international students want to get scholarships. In Japan, there are many private scholarships for groups, and some are provided by universities themselves or by local public organizations. Students who want to apply for scholarships can pay attention to the school bulletin board and master the scholarship information.

In national universities, for students with financial difficulties, there is a system of full or half tuition fee remission, the number of students, the requirements for remission and so on. Different universities have different requirements. Please ask the undertaker of each university for details.
