money saving tips 💰

five money saving tips that help me to save a little more, spend a little less, and afford to live in new york city. 🫶🏼

1. make coffee at home ☕️

i have finally perfected my at home coffee recipe, and i save money each morning, that is a win-win in my book. in all seriousness, ordering coffee every morning morning adds up! making coffee at home can save you over $2,000 a year. 😦

2. buy groceries 🥬🥝

taking 1-2 hours every sunday to (roughly) plan what i am going to eat during the week and to go to the grocery store saves me so much money during the week!

tip: if you are a trader joe's loverrr like me, buy yourself flowers each week as a little reward for grocery shopping.

3. walk or take the train 🚂

obviously, safety first! when it is late at night, i always opt for an uber. but, if it is during the day.. lace up the sneakers and get walking or head to the train. 😂

4. cook at home 👩🏼‍🍳

this goes hand in hand with grocery shopping. during the week, i almost always cook at home, and save going out to eat for when i am with my friends on the weekends. 😌 pour yourself a fun drink, light a candle, put on music or your favorite podcast, and make it an enjoyable experience! it is all about romanticizing the little things. 🫶🏼

5. build a capsule wardrobe 🛍️

ahhh, this one was key for me! 🔑 i have been focusing on buying higher quality pieces that are neutral in color. this has allowed me to make multiple outfits, out of a few pieces of clothing.

when it comes to saving money 💰 focus on the little habits you can change in your daily routine, and watch your wallet thank you. 🤭
