Let’s face it — when you hear “save money,” your first thought might be: What do I have to give up now?
But what if you could keep your favorite little indulgences — your morning coffee, that weekend treat, or your cozy streaming nights — and still save $100 this month?
Good news: you can. These realistic, low-stress tips are designed to help women like you save without the guilt, stress, or sacrifice.
🧾 1. Review (and Cancel) One Subscription
Are you really watching all those streaming services? That meal box you forgot to cancel? Pick just one subscription to pause this month.
➡️ Savings: $10–$25
☕ 2. DIY Your Coffee Twice a Week
You don’t have to skip your latte altogether. Just brew your own twice a week — that alone can save a surprising amount!
➡️ Savings: $10–$15
🛒 3. Use a Cash Envelope for Groceries
Put your grocery budget in an envelope and commit to using only that cash for the month. It makes impulse buys a lot harder.
➡️ Savings: $20+

🧺 4. Wash in Cold Water
It’s better for your clothes and your electricity bill. Switching to cold water for laundry can shave real dollars off your next utility bill.
➡️ Savings: $5–$10
📱 5. Use a Cash Back App (Every Time!)
Apps like Rakuten, Ibotta, and Fetch offer cash or gift cards just for scanning receipts or shopping through links.
➡️ Savings: $5–$20 (or more if you do online shopping)
🥡 6. Skip One Takeout Order
Instead of delivery or drive-thru one night, make a simple meal at home (like grilled cheese or pasta).
➡️ Savings: $15–$30
🧴 7. Use What You Already Have
Before you buy another lotion, candle, or cleaning spray — shop your own stash. You’d be surprised what you already have hiding in cabinets.
➡️ Savings: $10+
🎁 BONUS: Sell 1 Thing You Don’t Use
That purse you haven’t carried in years? The decorative lamp in the closet? Sell it on Facebook Marketplace or your local Buy Nothing group.
➡️ Earnings: $25–$50 or more
🧡 Final Thoughts
You don’t need to go extreme or give up joy to reach your financial goals. By making a few small, intentional shifts, you can easily save $100 this month — and still enjoy the life you’ve worked hard to build.
It’s about smart choices, not self-denial. That’s what Your Savvy Purse is all about.
