Hindi kailangan gumastos ng malaki para maayos ang buhay sa Japan. These tips can help you manage your budget better.

Find Affordable Housing

Kung solo ka, try living in a share house. Mas mura siya kaysa sa renting a full apartment. Kung may pamilya ka, consider living outside major cities like Chiba or Saitama—lower ang rent dun.

Grocery First, Eat Out Second

Food can be expensive, pero pwede kang makatipid by cooking at home. Check out discount stores like Gyomu Super and Don Quijote. Kung gusto mo ng ready-to-eat meals, FamilyMart and 7-Eleven have affordable options.

Get a Commuter Pass (Teikiken)

If you’re working or studying, invest in a commuter pass. Sobrang laki ng matitipid mo sa train fares lalo na kung malayo ang daily travel mo.

Shop Sales

Clothing and household goods can get expensive, so abangan ang end-of-season sales sa Uniqlo or department stores. Minsan, thrift shops like BookOff are good options too.
