  1. Make a week's worth of meals in advance. There are two ways that weekly meal planning can help you save money. With regard to groceries, you could be better able to benefit from coupons and group savings. Additionally, it might enable you to reduce unforeseen restaurant costs.

  2. Compare prices for car insurance. It doesn't necessarily imply you are still getting the best bargain today just because your current auto insurer gave you the lowest quote a few years ago. Obtaining new auto insurance quotes is the only way to find out. Credit Karma advises doing annual insurance comparison shopping.

  3. Make use of reward credit cards. Credit cards offer continuing rewards and sign-up bonuses that might help you save for immediate objectives like that family vacation. To prevent incurring interest or accruing debt, just be careful not to charge more than you can reasonably afford to pay back on your credit card.

  4. Eliminate credit card interest. The typical credit card interest rate is currently little over 15% as of February 2020. Paying interest on your credit card transactions can make it harder to reach your savings objectives when your APR is higher than 10%. Try to pay off the entire sum on your statement each month, or think about moving the balance to a credit card with a starting 0% APR on balance transfers.

  5. Plan an energy audit of your home. According to Energy.gov, a home energy audit could enable you to save anywhere between 5% and 30% on your monthly energy costs. Additionally, your local government or utility provider might potentially provide a subsidy to help defray the audit's expense, which typically ranges from $300 to $500. Find out how to locate a qualified energy auditor in your region.

  6. Take advantage of a 401(k) match from your company. Your employer might provide a match if it offers an employer-sponsored 401(k) account. For instance, your employer might agree to match up to 3 percent or 5 percent of your 401(k) payments (k). So make sure to always contribute the most allowed by your employer. These matches double the saving potential of every dollar you donate to your 401(k).

  7. Set up automatic savings. A clever way to save money is to set up a recurring transfer from your checking account to your savings account. You won't need to remember to log into your account to transfer money to your savings if you automate your saves, which might be helpful. Additionally, it might prevent you from wasting your money on pointless purchases.

  8. Hold onto the tax refund. Consider setting aside a portion of your Uncle Sam refund if you frequently receive a sizable sum of change each year.
