SET A GOAL: You're much more likely to save if you have a goal in mind. You'll be more excited and focused if you are saving for a particular reason vs just telling yourself that you 'should' save money. 2. SET UP AUTOMATIC SAVINGS One of the best ways to save money is by setting up automatic withdrawal into your savings account. I do this monthly so I don't even see the money in my account and I only work with what I have! This way you don't go over budget and you're automatically saving thousands of dollars every year. 3. CLEAN OUT + ORGANIZE clean out + organize the stuff that you do have so you don't purchase items that you already have or have something similar to. 4. You'll also be less tempted to bring more into your home if it's organized! 5. SELL YOUR STUFF Sell what you aren't using anymore! You can sell your clothes in stores like Crossroads or on your phone through Poshmark. I've also sold furniture on Craigslist. 6. WAIT TO BUY I go on 'shopping sprees' online- meaning I'll add EVERYTHING I like into my cart + get the fun of 'shopping' online, but then I'll wait to decide on what I'm buying until at least one day later. By this point I've either forgotten about what I was looking at, or I eliminate 90% of what I wanted to buy! 7. BUY ONLY WHAT YOU NEED: Ask yourself: Will I use this? How MUCH will I use this? Is it really worth that money? 8. E-BATES Sign up for E-bates and do your regular online shopping through this site. -Discounted prices on the stores you already shop at -Cash back on your purchases This way you're not only saving money while shopping, but then you're getting paid money to shop! You can find coupons on their site for specific deals, as well as see what stores offer high cash back. For mother's day they're running a cash back sale at Sephora at 8%- so if you spent $100 on makeup, you'd get $8 of that purchase back. THAT ADDS UP!

COUPONS Besides just online savings, you can save money shopping in stores by using app's like retailmenot to find deals 10. SOCIAL SETTINGS I personally spend most of my money on social settings / going out to dinner with friends. Have dinner parties at friend's houses and have everyone bring $5-10 to cover ingredients. You're still hanging out and doing dinner but spending way less! Please give this video a thumbs up if you liked it / let me know if you want to see more videos like this! *THIS VIDEO IS NOT SPONSORED
