You’ve just looked over your budget and it looks like you’re a couple of hundred dollars if not thousands of dollars short of your goal. Whether you’re saving for retirement, a new car, or that vacation you’ve been promising yourself for years, it’s time to double your efforts.

But what happens when you can’t? What happens if you’re already spread thin working and taking care of the house? Or what happens to those who despite all their frugal spending, expenses keep cropping up?

If, for whatever reason, you can’t pick up a side gig or can’t put aside more money any more than you already are, here are 15 ways to save $100 and even $1,000 with minimal effort!
