1. Track Your Spending

Keeping track of your expenses helps you see where your money is going. Use apps like Mint to make it easier.


2. Create a Meal Plan

Plan your meals for the week to avoid impulse buys and save on groceries.


3. Use Cashback Apps

Earn cashback on everyday purchases with apps like Rakuten and Ibotta.

4. Brew Coffee at Home

A coffee machine at home can save you hundreds annually. Skip the coffee shop and enjoy homemade coffee.


5. Automate Savings

Set up an automatic transfer to your savings account every month, even if it’s a small amount. Over time, this habit builds up your savings effortlessly.


6. Buy in Bulk

Purchase pantry items and household supplies in bulk to cut down on per-unit costs. Wholesale clubs like Costco can help.


7. Cancel Unused Subscriptions

Review all subscriptions and cancel the ones you rarely use. Apps like Truebill can help you track and manage subscriptions.


8. Switch to Generic Brands

Generic brands often offer the same quality as name brands but at a lower price, saving you money on essentials.


9. Cut Down on Utility Bills

Be conscious of energy usage by unplugging devices and using energy-efficient lighting to lower monthly bills.

10. Set a Shopping Limit

Set a spending cap before going out shopping to avoid impulsive buys and unnecessary expenses.


11. Negotiate Your Bills

Try calling your providers to negotiate lower rates on bills like cable, internet, or insurance. Many companies are willing to work with you!


12. Opt for Secondhand

Consider buying gently-used items like clothing, furniture, or electronics. Check out ThredUp or your local thrift store.


13. Meal Prep for the Week

Batch-cook meals to have ready-to-go options throughout the week, cutting down on takeout costs.


14. Cut the Cable

Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu often cost less than cable. Review your entertainment options and make the switch.


15. DIY When Possible

From minor home repairs to simple personal care, try DIY before paying for services. Online tutorials are a great help!


16. Plan No-Spend Days

Set aside “no-spend” days to help reset your spending habits and make you more mindful of everyday purchases.


17. Use Coupons and Discounts

Always search for deals and coupons before purchasing. Sites like RetailMeNot offer lots of online discounts.


18. Set Financial Goals

Financial goals can keep you motivated and accountable. Whether it’s for a vacation, home purchase, or a rainy-day fund, set a savings goal to strive toward.


19. Limit Dining Out

Reserve eating out for special occasions, focusing on home-cooked meals for daily sustenance.


20. Reevaluate Your Insurance

Periodically check your insurance plans to ensure you’re getting the best rates. Compare rates to find the best deal for your needs.
