When people think of a personal concierge, they often picture luxury or extravagance—but in reality, it’s one of the most practical ways to take control of your time, energy, and finances. In fact, there are countless ways you can save money with a personal concierge, often in areas you may not even realize are costing you.

Think about the tasks that linger on your to-do list: missed refunds, duplicate purchases, forgotten subscriptions, or unclaimed financial benefits. These overlooked details can quietly chip away at your budget over time. A personal concierge steps in to manage those day-to-day responsibilities, streamline your systems, and catch small issues before they become expensive problems.

In this blog, you’ll find 13 real-life examples of how my clients were able to save money with a personal concierge—from recovering thousands in missed funds to cutting unnecessary costs and reducing waste. If you’re ready to take a closer look at the small details that make a big financial difference, read on.

1. Reclaiming Warranty Refunds

A client once had a refrigerator compressor replaced, but the warranty claim was initially denied. I reviewed the paperwork, tracked down the right contacts, and escalated the issue. The result? She received a $600 refund.

2. Unlocking $70,000 in Forgotten HSA Funds

Helping a client navigate her mother-in-law’s HSA account, I contacted support, gathered documents, and submitted everything online. The result? Over $70,000 was released into interest-bearing accounts managed by a Certified Financial Planner.

3. Spotting Hidden Utility Overcharges

While reviewing a Verizon bill, we found a $400 charge for an international call and a mystery fifth phone line. It turned out to be an old internet gateway—costing over $1,000 in unnecessary charges. We’re resolving it now.

4. Smarter Event Planning and Price Comparison

A client wanted to rent video games for a party and had only one quote. I sourced five competitive bids and negotiated better terms—doubling his rentals for just 20% more.

5. Reducing Food Waste with Meal Prep

A busy family of four was constantly tossing spoiled produce. I prepped their fruits and vegetables weekly, helping them eat healthier and waste less.

6. Managing Costly Backlogs

One client had stacks of paperwork, duplicate services, and late fees piling up. I tackled the backlog, canceled unneeded subscriptions, and got her organized—saving her time and money.

7. Avoiding Stress-Driven Overspending

When you’re overwhelmed, you make rushed decisions—like calling the first plumber at double the rate or repurchasing items you can’t find. A concierge helps you plan ahead and make thoughtful, cost-effective choices.

8. Cutting Storage Costs—At Home and Off-Site

One client paid hundreds per year for a storage unit filled with forgotten items. I helped him sort, donate, and discard what he didn’t need—he closed the unit and saved immediately.

Even at home, storage has a cost. If your 2,000-square-foot home is worth $400,000, that’s $200 per square foot. Ten square feet of clutter? That’s $2,000 of wasted space.

9. Eliminating Duplicate Purchases

Without organization, it’s easy to buy duplicates—chargers, jackets, cookware. I help clients set up simple systems so everyone knows what they have and where to find it.

10. Saving Big on Event Supplies

A caterer quoted $5 per person for disposable tableware. For a large event, this added up fast. I handled the shopping instead and got everything for $140—saving my client hundreds.

11. Lowering Monthly Bills with Negotiation

Every six months, I contact internet, phone, and cable providers on behalf of my clients to request new discounts or promotions. These quick check-ins often result in substantial annual savings.

12. Recovering Lost Gift Cards and Passes

While organizing, I often uncover unused gift cards and theme park passes. I check balances and help clients redeem them. One client had 10 old Disney passes—we’re working with customer service to reactivate those days.

13. Requesting Refunds for Unused Subscriptions

One client bought software that wasn’t compatible with her system and was ready to eat the loss. I drafted a refund request, she sent it—and got her money back.

Conclusion: Save Money with a Personal Concierge

Disorganization doesn’t just create clutter—it quietly drains your finances. Missed deadlines, overlooked charges, forgotten refunds, and last-minute decisions can all add up to unnecessary spending. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
