used to think that her boyfriend was too frugal and frugal, which could easily lower his quality of life. However, since the epidemic started and I stayed at home a lot, I discovered that is quite knowledgeable in his "searching" skills. He not only saves money but does not harm himself, he is indeed a shrewd man in science and engineering!
Today I will share with you some of the ways my stingy boyfriend can save money at home. I believe you will suddenly become enlightened after reading this!
① Shelves replace wardrobes
Customized wardrobes are expensive to build and are also polluted by formaldehyde. In order to save money, my boyfriend took it upon himself to buy supermarket shelves from the Internet. He spent a total of 500 yuan and built a wardrobe by himself.
At first I thought this shelf would be too shabby to use as a wardrobe. As time passed, I gradually realized how good it is!
. Large storage capacity, can store many items
. Flexible layout, adjustable at any time as needed, easy to use
. Metal shelves have strong bearing capacity, high durability, and will not be affected by moisture or deformation due to environmental changes.
After tasting the benefits of shelves, my family bought several more shelves, which are used as balcony cabinets and storage cabinets. The more they are used, the better they become!
② Beverage bottles replace oil bottles
Gravity-sensitive oil bottles
Today’s oil bottles are all very high-end in design, such as gravity sense, oil leakage prevention, and sprayability... Although easy to use, they are very expensive .
My boyfriend came up with a clever idea, use the finished beverage bottles to make an oil pot. Since the beverage bottle itself is made of pp5, it is perfectly OK to store cooking oil and will not leak oil. It is very easy to use and can be replaced at any time after a long time. It does not hurt to throw it away. It is much more cost-effective than spending hundreds to buy an oil bottle. Got it!
③Hooks replace storage racks
The ordinary transparent hooks are actually very versatile. Two hooks are attached to the wall in parallel, and a basket is hung, which is a wall shelf with enough load-bearing capacity to store vegetables and fruits.
hooks are stuck on both sides of the trash can, so that two plastic bags can be put on at the same time to classify garbage, which is super easy to use.
④ Homemade cabinet pull basket
The decoration budget is small, and the cabinet does not have a pull basket. In order to make the cabinet more convenient to use, my boyfriend started to remodel it again.
Online shopping for baskets, slide rails, transparent glue, cable ties , first fix the basket with cable ties, then stick the transparent glue on the bottom of the slide rails, and finally fix the slide rails in the cabinet and you're done.
not only has a large capacity, but also slides and pulls smoothly, making it easy to pick up items. It is more practical than traditional pull baskets!
Little reminder:
Before buying materials, measure the dimensions of the cabinet, and remember to leave a little space on the left and right sides.
⑤The perforated board is used as a storage rack
There are many pipes under the water heater that are difficult to use. My boyfriend used the perforated board + magnetic hooks to make a storage rack to store commonly used kitchen tools. It is both ugly and beautiful. I have to praise my boyfriend for this. Delicate thoughts!
⑥Kraft paper bag as storage box
A packaging paper bag for drinking coffee, cut off the handle, fold it inward twice, fix the shape, and it can be used as a storage box.
This kind of paper bag is environmentally friendly and hygienic, strong enough, and has a large capacity, so it is no problem for storage.
If you are worried about the paper bag deforming after being used for a long time, you can add a thick cardboard to the bottom and inside so that the paper bag will not collapse easily.
⑦ Acrylic rods make floor lamps
Instead of buying a floor lamp, I spent 50 yuan to make an atmosphere lamp using acrylic rods and light strips. Not to mention, the light feels natural, and it is really good as a floor lamp!
Details:
