In expensive things like in Japan, decorating your home and place beautifully will eat up a big salary. Here are ways to help keep your home beautiful and save money:

1. Daiso, Seria
   Our friend, the same price store! Not only “safety” for newcomers to Japan, even for long -time residents of Japan, Daiso, Seria… is always a great choice when you want to DIY – decorate your home.

Beautiful bowls, cups, baskets, bento boxes, cloth, beautiful wooden boxes… from only 100 VND. Furthermore, in these stores, there will be seasonal items: Halloween, Christmas, New Year… with a little aesthetic eye, you can completely save a huge amount just by buying in the same price stores.

    2. Outlet of furniture brands Nitori, Ikea
Hearing about Ikea, Nitori… is expensive! No, if you know how to buy here, the price is sometimes cheaper than the same store price. At Ikea or Nitori, there is an Outlet corner, this corner sells items with deep discounts (up to 90%), because it is either displaying products, stock with limited size, goods that exceed peak season or the item has some scratches… Your job is to wisely choose an item that matches your design and home budget, and then pick it up!

     3. Buy used goods
Hunting for second-hand products in Japan has become a “fashion” trend among young people who love home decoration. Shameless, self-destructive because of the use of second-hand goods, buying and selling second-hand goods not only saves you but can also earn “unique” things that are no longer made or sold in the market.

     4. Auctions on Yahoo Auctions
Not widely available in the Vietnamese community in Japan, however, auctioning goods on Yahoo is a hobby of many Japanese to have a “unique-beautiful-cheap” item. You can bid anything from a few yen items to a few dozen men, as long as there is a seller. And increasingly not taxed, 8% less tax payable. Transactions are protected by Yahoo Auction, so you don’t have to worry about losing money if you don’t receive your goods.

To bid on Yahoo Auction, you need a phone number in Japan.

Sign up for a Yahoo Japan account at goo.gl/ZH3shi, it’s free. After logging in, Yahoo asks to register a delivery address and send a verification code to the phone number.

(Current price): xxx, select る for auction. If overtaken by others, continue bidding until your intended price. The highest bidder is the successful bidder.
