Where Did I Buy Cheap Stuff

YAFENG CHEN

Saving money always is a hot topic in daily talking between "you" and "me". I would like share some experience that where did I buy cheap things in Boston area. But I am not a super money saver, I just wanted to make my life easy and comfortable, Therefore, I will introduce some places normally in this blog.



Second-hand Market

From my perspective, second-hand market is a good place to buy furniture, such as cabinet, table, chairs and the like. The reason is that new furniture are really expensive in America, but the used furniture would be pretty cheap. For a international student who only live there around 1-2 years, used furniture are good choice.

You can search "second hand market" in Google Maps. In addition, IKEA also has a second hand furniture department.

如果你有用微信的话，可以试着加入一些华人或者留学生的微信群。在开学季和毕业季，很多要离开的学生就会开始低价出售他们的家具，这就是一个低价入手高档家具的好机会。当你要离开的时候，微信群也会是一个很好的出售平台。

Local Market

If you want to buy cheapest fruit, vegetable, and seafood, Haymarket is a good place to go. Haymarket  is a historic outdoor local agricultural market. Fresh fruit and vegetable are very cheap. You can not image how cheap like that. For example a big box of strawberry is only 0.99 dollar.

100 Hanover St, Boston, MA 02108

As my experience, I only know one local outdoor agricultural market in Boston area. There is a subway station, called Haymarket, in the way of green line. This market only 5 mins away from the subway station.

Supermarket

I have published a blog regarding good supermarkets in Boston. The blog was talking about the wholesale market, and retail supermarket in Boston. In order to save money, you have read the blog, because daily suppliers are the place where you go often. I share the link following.
