Saving money can feel like an overwhelming task, often triggering feelings of self-deprivation. But it doesn\u2019t have to be.<\/p>\n
\u201cLittle savings here and there can really add up,\u201d says Ethan Taub, CEO of Goalry<\/span><\/a> and Loanry<\/span><\/a>. \u201cYou don’t have to cut large chunks of your grocery bill out to make some real savings.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahead, experts share some simple, everyday things you can do to spend less and save more.<\/p>\n Set up auto-withdrawal from your checking to a savings account<\/strong> Look for coupons<\/strong> Set a daily savings goal<\/strong> Revise your grocery list<\/strong>
\nMany banks will let you set up auto-withdrawal so that some money from your checkings account will automatically be deposited into your savings whenever you get paid. \u201cThis way, you\u2019re making saving a priority, and you never even have to think about it,\u201d says budgeting expert Caroline Vencil<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nBefore you go out or make a purchase online, Vencil suggests searching coupons online for the place where your money is going. Many stores have coupons for first-time customers. You can also use the Chrome extension Honey<\/span><\/a> to automatically check for coupons each time you make a purchase online.<\/p>\n
\nEven if you just save a dollar or two a day, it\u2019ll add up. Kumiko (Miko) Love<\/span><\/a>, founder of The Budget Mom<\/span><\/a>, suggests physically putting two dollars into a jar or envelope each day and finding some way to spend $2 less than you normally would, whether that\u2019s by walking instead of driving somewhere or ordering wine instead of cocktails.<\/p>\n
\nLove suggests picking two items on your grocery list and finding cheaper alternatives to them each time you go shopping. You might even discover a new food you like this way.<\/p>\n
