Pay the minimum payments on everything

If you are paying an extra $10 – $20 (above the minimum due) on a credit card, car loan, student loan, etc., stop for the short term. Consider just paying the minimum payment due. Transfer the extra money into your savings account. To avoid the temptation of touching it, try keeping your savings account at a different bank, or credit union then your checking account.

Implement a pantry week

I am a huge fan of the pantry week. I usually do this once a month because I don’t want to grocery shop. 🙂 It also helps use up food, and get creative with what’s in your pantry. If you skip one week’s worth of groceries, that could easily put $100.00 a month back into your savings account.

Let $1.00 here and there add up Slowly

People often think couponing is a waste of time. At one point, I would have agreed, but I changed my tune. Couponing has saved me thousands of dollars over the last four years.

It’s so much easier now. Most of my couponing is done digitally. Apps for your phone like Ibotta, allow you to earn cash back on groceries. They have 1000’s of items that earn cash back on.

Ibotta always has extra promotions going on, like “earn $2.00 when you redeem XXX during this time, etc.” It’s exciting to watch your balance add up.

Sell things you no longer use or don’t need on Craigslist or Facebook Market Place. If it’s warm enough, host a garage sale and make sure to advertise so you get lots of foot traffic.

Keep a running list of what you want to buy. Wait thirty days before buying it.

The thirty days will help give you time to evaluate if you really want it.

Most of the time the desire and dopamine rush will subside. Instead of an impulse purchase, you keep the money in your pocket. Getting in this habit will help with those impulse spending sprees, and help you save your $1000.00 even faster.

Let the Banks Pay You

Back in the day when you signed up for a bank account, you would get some free swag, like a paper shredder. Look for banks where you can set up an account for money.

Offers come in the mail, in value coupon packs, and can even be found on a banks website. It’s not uncommon to see offers of$200.00 for a new account.

Just beware of how these accounts are kept free, so you don’t end up paying fees.
