Okay, real talk: how many times have you looked at your bank account and thought, “Wait… where did all my money go?” 😅 
 
If saving money feels impossible or boring, I’m here to flip that script. Saving $100 in a month doesn’t have to mean giving up everything you love. In fact, with a little creativity (and a sprinkle of Savings Bestie magic ✨), you can hit that goal *without feeling broke*. 
 
So grab your favorite drink, get cozy, and let’s chat about 10 fun and easy ways to save $100 this month. Ready? Let’s go!💸👇

1. 🌿 Do a No-Spend Weekend Challenge

2. 🍽️ Eat What's Already In Your Pantry

3. 💇🏽‍♀️ DIY Your Beauty Routine

Skip the salon this month and bring spa day to your bathroom. Give yourself a mani-pedi, try a DIY face mask (hello, honey + oatmeal!), and watch YouTube tutorials to trim your split ends.

You can even host a spa night with friends and trade services!

If you usually spend $40–$60 on self-care, doing it yourself even once can save you big. Plus, it’s kinda fun when you turn it into a pampering night with candles and chill music.

4. ☕ Swap Your Daily Coffee Run For Home Brews

I know, I know — but hear me out! If you’re spending $5 a day on coffee (that’s $150 a month 😱), switching to homemade for just three weeks out of the month could save you $75 or more.

Invest in a cute mug, grab some flavored creamers or syrups, and make your own café experience at home.

TikTok has some delish whipped coffee and iced latte recipes too. Trust me, your wallet (and your taste buds) will thank you.

5. 🧼 Make And Sell A Declutter Bundle

Look around — chances are you’ve got a few things you never use anymore. That cute purse you carried once, the kitchen gadget you forgot existed, or clothes that no longer spark joy? Time for a declutter day!

Create a “declutter bundle” and post it on Facebook Marketplace, Poshmark, Mercari, or local buy/sell groups.

You could easily earn $50–$100 just by clearing out things you don’t need, and then add it to your savings.

Bonus: your space will feel cleaner and calmer.

6. 🎁 Give Thoughtful, Low-Cost Gifts

Got birthdays, anniversaries, or celebrations coming up? Instead of splurging on expensive gifts, try making something personal and meaningful.

Write a heartfelt note, bake cookies, or create a cute photo collage. People love thoughtful over pricey — and you’ll save $20–$50 while still showing how much you care.

Pinterest has tons of budget-friendly DIY gift ideas that don’t scream “I was broke” (but you totally were and that’s okay!).

7. 🚗 Save On Gas With Better Planning

Gas prices got you feeling some kinda way? One of the easiest ways to save is to drive smarter, not more.

Combine errands into one trip, carpool when possible, and avoid peak traffic times to save on gas.

Even better? Use apps like Upside to find the cheapest gas and save money per gallon. Sign up for Upside with my referral code (SAVINGS9773) to get an extra 15 cents per gallon cash back on gas, and an extra 10% cash back on restaurants or groceries!

With just a few changes, you can easily shave $10–$20 off your gas spending this month.

8. 📱 Cancel Or Pause Unused Subscriptions

Be honest — when’s the last time you actually used that workout app, music subscription, or streaming service?

Check your bank statement or use a subscription-tracking app like Rocket Money to find sneaky recurring charges.

Cancel or pause what you’re not using this month. Even trimming just 2–3 subscriptions could save you $30+ this month alone!

9. 🛍️ Use Cashback and Coupon Apps Religiously

Make it a rule: never buy online or in-store without checking for a deal first. Use cashback apps for every purchase you make. Even a few dollars here and there adds up fast.

Here are some rebate apps you can use to save!

• Ibotta: Sign up here and receive a $5 bonus!
• Fetch Rewards: Sign up here and get 2,000 points with your first receipt upload!
• Honey: Sign up here to earn points and cash back on online purchases!
• Rakuten: Click here to create an account and get a bonus with qualifying purchase!
• BeFrugal: Sign up here to receive a $10 sign up bonus. Cash out after you earn $10 more.

Stacking deals? That's a savings queen move. Do this with just your grocery and household purchases this month and you could save $20–$30 or more without even trying.

10. 🎉 Host a Budget-Friendly Night In 

Instead of going out, invite your besties over for a fun night in.

Think potluck-style dinner, card games, wine from Trader Joe’s, or even a mini “vision board” party. Each friend brings a snack, drink, or activity, and you all save $40+ compared to a night out.

Same laughs, better vibes, and no Uber or overpriced apps required!

Check out my Pinterest board of curated free/cheap fun activities you can do by yourself or with friends.

 💬 Final Thoughts: You've Got This!

Saving $100 might sound intimidating, but when you break it down into small, creative changes, it’s 100% possible (and fun!). You don’t have to give up everything you love — just tweak your habits, get a little creative, and treat it like a fun game.

So go ahead — pick 2–3 tips from this list and start this month. Your future self (and your bank account) will be doing a happy dance. 💃💸
