New York is one of the most expensive cities in the world (after Moscow and St. Petersburg). This is confirmed by the annual ratings of the high cost of living in one place or another on the planet.

Everything is expensive in it: travel on the subway for $ 3, and mobile Internet for $ 120. If we talk about housing, then the cost of monthly payment of own housing is so high that it sometimes resembles rent - this is due to the impressive amount of property taxes.

“Living in New York is expensive for most Americans. And yet, local residents have adapted to this high cost and developed habits that allow them to save significantly,” the author notes.

Here are 6 American habits that save them:

Coupons To save money, Americans cut the coveted discount coupons from newspapers, summarize them with bonuses for credit programs of retail chains, and use cashback services to buy.

Also here in every supermarket there is a whole rack with gift cards of different stores: you can pay with them and return a few dollars to the account.

Discounts and bonus programs are another way that US residents are used to using often.

Sales. You will not find real New Yorkers in luxury boutiques on Fifth Avenue and Madison. They shop at Century 21 or Marshalls outlets. The price here is always lower than the original four times.

Sample Sale - when designers sell samples of new models - this is another way for residents of this metropolis to save money.
