Getcha Save On!

With a ton of traveling coming up (eee!! So excited!), I've been trying to save as much as possible in order to be a little less tight in the spending department during our getaways.



I've been...

Bringing my lunch and all snacks to work every day

Making my own meals at least during the week

Buying groceries at Trader Joes (the most heavenly and inexpensive grocery store ever)

Splurging far less on impulse buys

Making far less Target trips because I spend hella money every time I go

Clipping coupons like a crazy every Sunday (P&G coupon book, you rock)

Drinking far less (alcohol is expensive, thanks Mint.com)

Canceling my gym membership (thanks Insanity!)

Canceling my garage rent (boo city street parking)

Speaking of Mint.com, have you tried it? It's glorious if you want to see how much you're spending on things like alcohol, food, restaurants and shopping (as it categorizes all of your transactions), but it's hell when you realize how much you frivolously spend on the first and third of those items.

How do you save? I'd love to hear your tips!

Happy Tuesday!
