"Money must be spent on the edge" is easy to say but difficult to do. Some people can't even find where the blade is - I have rich experience in decoration and have summarized a set of "secrets" to save money. I won't spend any money I can spend. During my last renovation, relying on this theory, I left me with tens of thousands of yuan.
Let’s share today. My money-saving plan: 5 gifts and 3 methods, don’t spend a penny!
5 gifts
1. Home appliances are the most common gifts
When it comes to "home appliances", many people's first reaction is four types of appliances: refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, and air conditioners. These four types of home appliances are precisely the most common giveaways. Decoration companies, customized furniture, finished furniture and other merchants may give away gifts.
So don’t be too anxious to buy it. Look at it after the decoration is over. At least you can buy one less - you can save at least one or two thousand yuan. Some people bought all the home appliances before decoration, and in the end they could only comfort themselves and say "the quality of the gifts is not good." Only he himself knows the pain in his heart.
2. Beds and bedding are almost cost-effective
In the finished furniture, the bed should be placed in the last purchase. I don’t know why, but many decoration companies and custom furniture manufacturers like to give away beds. Or write the bed into the package and you only need to add a few hundred dollars to get a very good bed.
bedding products are even less necessary. Some are given when buying a bed, and some are given when giving a bed. Even no matter what you buy (furniture, appliances), you may receive a set of four-piece set of , quilt or pillow.
3. Find a decoration company to find a soft decoration
Many people ignore the importance of soft decorations. In fact, putting a few ornaments at home can immediately add a lot of color to the room. But if you really spend money to buy it, it seems unnecessary. After all, after getting tired of it, this thing will only get in the way.
My method is to directly ask the decoration company for it. When negotiating the price, go directly to the model room to "sweep" and take whatever you like. This thing is not worth a lot to decoration companies. It is regarded as a gift when bargaining, and its impact on them is minimal. If you get tired of it, throw it away, and you will definitely not feel distressed.
4. Carpets and floor mats are common souvenirs
The elderly like to go to class and get ten eggs home after class. Young people can also go to the class - go to decoration companies and furniture stores to participate in promotional activities. After making an appointment and reporting, you can receive a souvenir.
Souvenirs are different in different places. The most common souvenirs here are carpets and floor mats. Moreover, the quality of souvenirs in such high-a-order-price stores is often not too bad. Going it a few more times can save hundreds of dollars.
5. Hardware accessories rely on negotiations
People who have not really decorated can never imagine how high the price of hardware accessories is. A hinge, a hinge, and a set of towel rods can easily be purchased for several hundred yuan.
If you want to save money, you can rely on negotiations: when buying the corresponding products (when buying the door, when buying sanitary ware, towel rack ...), you can ask the merchant for hardware as a gift. If we want one more gift, we can spend hundreds of dollars less.
3 methods
1. Do not throw tools and building materials
During the decoration process, workers will continue to settle in the site and leave the site after a few days. After workers leave, they often leave some unused building materials or tools. All we have to do is collect these things.
These things are not valuable, but they may be used in later repairs. If we don’t use it once, we will go out to buy a new one. Not only will we waste it if we can’t use it, but it will not be a small amount together. So don’t think it’s troublesome, pick it up and leave it until the decoration is over before throwing it away!
2. Construction waste is cleaned every day
I also chatted with a neighbor yesterday. She said that her home spent more than 1,500 yuan on land and cleaning, and asked me how much it cost. I said, "I didn't spend a penny" because I did my own cleaning and cleaning.
If you really open up the land, ordinary people will be exhausted. But I go to the site once a day and throw away all the large pieces of garbage on the ground, making it easier to clear the land. At that time, there is no need to clean the garbage, just wipe the walls and floors, which is not much troublesome than cleaning at the end of the year.
3. Don’t trust online shopping too much
The original intention of online shopping is to save money, but for decoration, online shopping cannot save too much money. On the one hand, because decoration and building materials are refunded more and supplemented less, online shopping transportation is too troublesome and may delay construction period.
On the other hand, because ordinary people don’t know much about building materials, the price of selling online is even higher than offline. Go directly to the physical store to bargain, sometimes it is cheaper than online shopping.
Of course, I am talking about building materials here. For some decorations and small items (such as hangers, faucets, etc.), you can still compare them online.
