However, in the context of the economy facing many difficulties and changes in people's consumption habits, the "Tet savings" trend is becoming a prominent trend in recent years. This is not only a form of spending reduction, but also a change in awareness of the value of Tet and sharing in the community.
Previously, Tet was a time to spend heavily on Tet gifts, feasts, decorating houses and giving gifts. However, with the difficult economic situation, many families have switched to Tet savings, choosing to spend more reasonably to avoid waste.
Saving Tet does not mean lacking or not organizing Tet fully, but a wise choice in spending to reduce wastefulness, preserve traditional values without affecting personal and family finances.
A clear sign of the Tet savings trend is the change in the choice of Tet gifts. Instead of expensive, luxurious gifts as before, many people today choose simple gifts but still have profound meaning. Gifts such as clean food, handicrafts, handmade gifts, or essential products for daily life are becoming increasingly popular.
The indispensable part of Tet is the Tet feast. However, instead of preparing a feast full of high-end dishes, many families today have adjusted the Tet menu to be both sufficient and economical while still ensuring solemnity and warmth.
This method not only saves costs, but also reflects a change in the perception of the value of Tet meals. Tet feasts are no longer an ostentation, but a reunion, warmth and expression of family affection for each other. Rustic, easy-to-make and easy-to-find dishes not only bring the traditional Tet flavor but also show thrift and sophistication in choice.
Not only stopping at saving spending in the family, the Tet savings trend is also expanding to the community with the spirit of sharing and helping people in difficult circumstances. Charity activities such as donating clothes, food, and Tet gifts to poor families, poor workers or children in particularly difficult circumstances are becoming increasingly popular. These actions not only show kindness but also help the community feel warmth and affection in the early days of spring.
Tet is no longer a time for wasteful spending but becomes an opportunity for everyone to re-examine the true value of sharing, of love for each other in society. Instead of spending money on expensive items, many people choose to spend their time and money to contribute to community activities, helping people in difficult circumstances during Tet.
