Use different tires and wheels, remove front sway bar, get a roll pan, have only the minimum fuel in the gas tank, remove washer/wiper fluid.

I saved a significant amount with my headers and exhaust system.

Probably cheaper if I just drink a slim fast and mix in a salad every once and awhile.

Fiberglass hood, and remove your bed lid at the track if you have one.

I thought those fiberglass hoods were heavier than the stock one.
