How to Save $2000 for Black Friday

Hey 🍋ers! Looking to have an extra $2,000 ready for all those Black Friday deals? Here's an easy, step-by-step guide to help you save up by cutting costs and boosting your income-without stress!

1. The Breakdown

• Black Friday is about 6 weeks away

• $2,000 ÷ 6 weeks = $333.33 per week

• $333.33 ÷ 7 days = $47.62 per day

2: Trim Your Expenses

• Cut Out Non-Essentials. Skip that extra meal eating out, those fancy coffees, or unnecessary snacks. Each time you skip, you could save $10-$30.

• Lower Subscription Costs- Pause

some streaming services or memberships temporarily. That could save you $20-$40 a month.

• Switch to Generic Brands- For your groceries and household items, switch to store brands. You can easily save $10-$20 per shopping trip.

3: Take On a Side Gig

• Sell Unused Items- Look around

your home for things you no longer need and list them on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Poshmark. Quick sales could bring in $50-$100 fast.

• Offer a Service- Try babysitting, pet sitting, or dog walking in your neighborhood, or offer services like cleaning or yard work. Even 1-2 gigs per week can bring in an extra $100.

• Freelance- Put your skills to work! Writing, graphic design, tutoring, or even virtual assistance can bring in decent cash.

. Do digital marketing- making ebooks to sell has endless opportunities.

4: Automate Your Savings- Set up automatic transfers to your savings account each week for $333.33. If your goal feels too big, break it down into smaller amounts, like $100 every 2-3 days.

5: Earn Cash Back- Use Cash Back Apps. Apps like

Rakuten, Ibotta, or Honey give you cash back on purchases you'd make anyway. Use these to rack up extra savings without changing your spending habits.

• Credit Card Rewards- If you have a cash-back credit card, use it for regular purchases and pay off the balance right away to earn back some extra money.

6: Stay Consistent-Track your progress each week and adjust as needed. If one week you can only save $200, try to make up the difference the following week. Consistency is key!

By following these tips, you'll be able to hit your $2,000 savings goal just in time for Black Friday!💸
