If your New Year’s resolution is to Save Your Money, here’s a plan!

Do the math…if you cut your spending by just $11 a day, you’ll save just over $4000 a year! How’s that for a New Year’s resolution!

Let the Budget Diet girl help you count the ways you can cut your spending and save your money! You can save money everyday by eliminating small expenses that really add up! It’s all part of frugal living!
 
 

  1. Kick the Starbucks habit…SAVE $3 per day, $1095 per year!
  2.  

  3. Don’t do the drive-thru for breakfast…SAVE $5 per day, $1865 per year!
  4.  

  5. Brown bag it to work…SAVE $6 per day, $2190 per year!
  6.  

  7. Use The Grocery Game, Inc. to maximize your grocery savings…SAVE at least $50 per week, $2600 per year!
  8.  

  9. Eliminate packaged, prepared food from your grocery list…SAVE $20 per week, $1040 per year!
  10.  

  11. Eat in, not out for dinner. SAVE $40 per week by cutting just 1 dinner out, $2080 per year!
  12.  

  13. Buy discounted gift cards for up to 30% off at Cardpool.com!. Use these discounted gift cards to save at stores you normally shop. Doesn’t saving 15% at Bed Bath & Beyond sound wonderful plus you can use your 20% off coupon…cha ching, cha ching.
  14.  

  15. If you shop online, start with Ebates.com – you’ll find coupon codes and earn cash back on every purchase!
  16.  

  17. Slow down! Driving 65 mph uses 15% more gas than 55 mph…that’s like paying 40¢ more per gallon! Suppose you use a tank of gas each week on highway driving, you’ll SAVE $8 per week, $416 per year.
  18.  

  19. Avoid excessive car idling! Turn off your engine while your waiting in that carpool line and you’ll save nearly 20%! Better yet…if you’re close enough to school, walk or ride bikes!
  20.  

  21. STOP making impulse purchases! SAVE A LOT!
  22.  

  23. Take advantage of FREEBIES by checking The Budget Diet’s freebies page everyday!
  24.  

Some of these money saving tips don’t save big bucks, but The Budget Diet girl’s motto is EVERY LITTLE BIT ADDS UP! If you can incorporate just a few of these tips into your life, you’ll soon find yourself saving $4000 a year! VACATION ANYONE????

I love these ideas, however, the starbucks and drive thru don’t take into account the $$ you would spend alternatively. If I don’t buy my starbucks and instead brew at home I am spending $$ on buying a coffee pot, creamer, and coffee. If I skip the drive thru, I am eating food from home. Although I’d still be saving, it wouldn’t be as much as listed, unless I’m doing math wrong, which happens.

You’re right, but after the initial investment of the coffee pot – it costs pennies a day to brew a cup. As far as eating in instead of eating out, my husband brings 2 sandwiches, fruit and nuts to work everyday, and we spend less than $10 weekly. Happy New Year and Happy Saving!

“Stop impulse purchases…” I’m doing so much better at this! Yay!

This is a tough habit to break! Try to make yourself wait at least one day after you see something you think you have to have…after a day if it’s still “calling your name” then go get it!

My favorite is #6. Not only do you save money, but you save unhealthy calories as well! Not to mention, sodium. Many restaurant foods have an entire days worth of recommended sodium in one meal!

We are currently doing many of the things you have listed here to help our son pay for college. We cut cable — a bit drastic for most, I know — but it saves us $60/month, which is $720 for the year. I’m happy to invest that sum in my son and his future over a few TV shows we’ll never remember having watched.

You might want to check out some of the other comments…quite a few people have cut cable, but added Hulu for a fraction of the cost.

Maybe just change the places you shop, so when you impulse buy at least it won’t be too expensive! Try thrift shops, garage sales & Craigslist! Once you score that first amazing deal…you’ll be hooked!

[…] Lent Lent begins in a little over a week! If you’re giving up something for Lent, you might give some serious thought to giving up one of your bad spending habits. Could your money spent on going out to lunch be better spent paying off credit card debt? Let’s do some brown bag math! Average lunch out = $8, that’s $40 a week, $160 a month and $1920 a year!

Hopefully, you’ll get in the frugal habit of browsing the Plastic Jungle each week! I have a stack of discounted gift cards that I use for stores I frequent like Target! When it’s time for my teenage daughter to go shopping, we always find discounted gift cards for American Eagle, Hollister, Aeropostale & Abercrombie…a teen shoppers delight!
