A new year usually brings new goals, which may include saving money. There are many ways to cut costs and save money, but it’s usually best to start small so you can stick to your goals. Here are 15 ways to step up your savings in the new year!
15 Ways to Step Up Your Savings in the New Year
Stop buying disposable plates and cups
This is something many people I know do, and while it may be helpful for transitional seasons like moving or welcoming a new baby, on a regular basis, this is wasting money. Even if you frequently have guests over, you can just spend a little extra time running the dishwasher or washing dishes. (A tip I do when we have people over, is that I unload, load, and run the dishwasher of our normal dishes before we have people over. Then we can fill the dishwasher again with the extra dishes from company!)
Meal plan
This will come as no surprise and I’m sure you’ve heard this tip before. But for real, it will help you save money! Check out our meal plan ideas if you need inspiration.
Always plan to cook extra
Whether the extra is doubling the meal and freezing it or simply making enough to eat for lunch the next few days, this will save you money. Check out my freezer series from 2021 if you want more specific ideas!
Use cash back and free mobile apps
These kinds of apps are basically free money! Sometimes what keeps people from using them is all of the options seem overwhelming, so here is a guide to receipt scanning apps to help you decide which ones you might actually use. Read More→
Saving money can’t get any easier than using Circle coupons in Target’s mobile app! These offers come off instantly at the register and most are good on up to 4 items.
Savings Tip: My favorite way to load offers is in the store. Scan the barcode of products and the app will find any offers available. Before shopping, you can also sort the offers in the app by value and find high value savings.
If you’ve never used Target Circle and want to know more watch a short on all the ways to save with Circle.
