I wanted to bring back a couple of ways to save money. These are tools that I’ve created over the last few months of my money-saving journey! These often get buried in with the deals so be sure to print, download or bookmark this page so you can refer to it at a later time if need be.
Southern Cali Saver Savings Tracker
Start keeping track of all the money you are paying for your shopping trips and keep a running total for the month and even the YEAR of savings! I love this spreadsheet as it helps me set a goal and see the results from all of my hard work. This is an excel spreadsheet that you need to download to your computer and enter your expenses as you spend your money. You can upload to your Google spreadsheets to access it online at any time (made by ME!)

Another shout-out to the 52-Week Money Challenge. I set up 2 accounts — one for car repairs (we drive 20-year-old cars) and one to buy a new sofa for the house.
About 7 weeks in (after starting with $52) I had just shy of $350 saved, but here’s where it comes into results.
Last week, my car did not start and it required a new sensor to be installed — a $310 repair. But I had the money all saved, so no worries and very little pain regarding the bill at all!
