Ms. Phan Thi Phuong (42 years old) - a goods inspection worker in Thai Binh said that on the March 10 holiday, the company did not give bonuses to employees. However, companies in the area also do not have bonuses, so she does not feel sad.
Regarding the holiday plan, Phuong said that she and her family did not go anywhere to play far because it was about to holiday on April 30 - 1.5. On the occasion of the death anniversary, the female worker only took her children to the supermarket to play, eat and drink for 1 day, the other day to rest to work.
"My whole family plans to go to the shopping mall 20km from home to play simple games for around 200,000 VND. If you eat normally, you would only need a maximum of 500,000 VND, not too expensive" - Ms. Phuong said.
Talking about the plan to holiday for Hung Vuong's Ancestor's Commemoration on March 10, Ms. Nguyen Quynh Duong (29 years old, Nam Dinh) - a garment worker said that she has two savings options.
"If the 4 families of brothers and sisters go together, we will rent a car to go to Hung Temple to burn incense and have fun, each house costs a maximum of 1,000,000 VND. If we can't go together, we will go to the beach to relax like every year, without spending a lot of money" - Ms. Duong shared.
The house is only 15km from the beach, so the female worker's family can proactively ride a motorbike out to play without having to rent a motorbike. The cost of renting a buoy to swim, drink, and drink on the beach is not much, only a few tens of thousands/person.
To save costs but still have moments of relaxation, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu (28 years old) - a shoemaker in Nam Dinh invited her younger sister's family to go to her parents' house to cook rice and eat.
According to Ms. Thu, this method not only helps connect people's feelings but also saves a lot of money, and is also quite "light" because it does not require going far. The cost revealed by the female worker is only about 300,000 VND/family.
"A family of 7 with 9 parents but only needs to buy a duck and a few other dishes to prepare a prosperous meal. The cost in the countryside is quite cheap, only about 600,000 to 700,000 VND is enough" - Ms. Thu said.
As someone who loves going to the pagoda, on the occasion of the 10.3 holiday, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc (28 years old) - a garment worker in Nam Dinh decided to invite her husband and children to go to the pagoda to burn incense to pray for incense as well as relax and then go back to work.
With a limited budget, Ms. Ngoc prioritizes choosing pagodas with a maximum distance of 70km but still ensure aesthetics and fame, many people come and visit. Ms. Ngoc estimates the cost to be no more than 1,000,000 VND for the whole family.
"We will choose a passenger bus to move around to make it less expensive, both way is 220,000 VND, children are free. Taking a double-way taxi costs 150,000 VND, if you save money, it only costs 200,000 VND for lunch, the rest is for buying incense and souvenirs" - Ms. Ngoc said.
For Ms. Ngoc, the holidays are economical but have time to rest, relax, and do meaningful things for herself and her family.
