Save Money Like A KOREAN 💸
Real talk, tourists overspend in Korea all the time 🙈
Here's what locals actually do to save 👇
1️⃣ Skip the pricey chain coffee ☕
Koreans don't line up at Starbucks for a basic americano
We go to Mega Coffee or Compose instead, an americano is around $1.50 or less 🤯
The big chains charge 3 to 4 times more for the exact same thing
They're on basically every corner, so you're never far from one ✅
2️⃣ Don't souvenir shop in Myeongdong 🛍️
The touristy streets quietly mark everything up
Walk into the nearest Daiso instead, snacks, K-beauty, cute gifts, all capped under $5 💖
Tip: the Myeongdong Daiso is 12 floors right by Exit 1, and the Gangnam Express Bus Terminal one is huge and all on a single floor 🏬
3️⃣ Never taxi during rush hour 🚕❌
Traffic is brutal and the meter just keeps climbing
Take the subway every single time, base fare is about $1 with a T-money card 🚇
Faster, cheaper, and you're never stuck in traffic ⚡
Grab a T-money card at any convenience store for around $2 to $3
Save this so you don't waste a single won 💸✅
