Shopping and Money 采买和记账
Please think of this as bookkeeping, not distrust. Pay with your Octopus card, keep the receipts, and check with us before anything large — then neither of us ever has to wonder where the money went. 把这看作记账，而不是不信任。日常用八达通付款，留好小票，大额先问一句——这样谁都不用事后追问钱花在哪了。
5.1What we usually buy 常购清单
Paper goods 纸品
Under a week's worthTissues, toilet rolls, kitchen roll, wet wipes.抽纸、卷纸、厨房纸、湿巾。
Food 食材
With the weekly menuVegetables, meat, eggs, rice and flour, sauces and seasoning, cooking oil.蔬菜、肉、鸡蛋、米面、调料、食用油。
Shared toiletries 共用洗护
When nearly outHand wash, soap — for the household, not personal.洗手液、肥皂——家里共用的那些。
Your own things 你自己的东西
Your personal items — shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, skincare, snacks, your own clothes — are yours to buy with your own money, and we will not put them on the household list. Likewise, please do not buy them on our account. And when you head out on your rest day, we would be grateful if you could cover your own spending then too — ideally without using the household Octopus card.你自己的用品——洗发水、沐浴露、牙膏、护肤品、零食、衣服——花你自己的钱买，我们不会把它们记在家用清单上。同样，也请不要用家里的钱买这些。休息日出门的花费，也请你自理——最好不要用家里的八达通。
5.2How we handle the money 钱怎么管
A cash limit per trip 现金单次限额
Anything up to HK$100 in cash you can just buy. Anything over that, please message us first and wait for a yes. If it is genuinely urgent, go ahead and buy it — then tell us the same day.单次现金港币 100以内你直接买就好。超过这个数，先发消息问我们一声，等我们回复再买。如果确实紧急，先买了，当天告诉我们就行。
Pay by Octopus 用八达通
Please pay for household shopping with your Octopus card — that is our usual way. Keep a little cash for emergencies, but use the Octopus first, and tell us before you use cash.家里的采买请优先用八达通付款——这是常规方式。可以留少量现金应急，但请先用八达通；要用现金前，先告诉我们。
Keep the receipts 留小票、尽量开票
Please keep the receipt or slip for anything you buy, and ask for one wherever you can — it makes everything easy to check later.买东西请留着小票（收据），能开票就尽量开——这样以后核对起来方便。
Topping up 充值
We top up your Octopus regularly. If the balance runs low, tell us straight away — we have a WhatsApp group — and we will top it up, so you never have to pay from your own money.我们会定期给八达通充值。余额不够时，请马上告诉我们——我们有一个 WhatsApp 群——我们会充值，不用你自己垫钱。
The usual places 去哪儿买
Please use the shops and the delivery app we have set up. If you would like to try somewhere else, just ask first.请用我们常去的那几家店和我们设好的买菜 App。想换别家的话，先问一下就好。
Buy what is good value 买合适的，不买最贵的
Pick what is decent for the price — there is no need to go for the most expensive option. And please do not stock up so much that things spoil.挑性价比合适的就好，不用专挑最贵的。也别囤太多，放坏了可惜。
The one thing we cannot accept 唯一不能接受的事
Falsifying a price or a receipt, buying on someone else's behalf, or dipping into the household money. This would mean ending the arrangement straight away, so please always ask if you are unsure.虚报价格或小票、替别人买、动家里的钱——这一类只能直接终止合作。所以有任何不确定，先问我们。
5.3The weekly sheet 每周记账表（指引）
Where the money notes go 账目都记在这一页
Please use the printed sheet on the fridge. If you jot something down in a phone note while you are out, that is fine — just remember to fill it onto the sheet when you are back, so it all stays in one place.请用冰箱上那张打印好的表。出门时先记在手机备忘录里也可以——回来记得填到那张表上，这样账目就都在一处。
Each line 每一行
Date 日期 · Item 买了什么 · Amount 金额 · Receipt 小票 (□ Y/N) · Approved 已报备 (□ Y/N)日期 · 买了什么 · 金额 · 小票（□ 有／无）· 已报备（□ 有／无）
