Lightweight handlebar tape like Deda Traforato can take off 20-40 grams for 12 bucks.
So for about 100 bucks, you can very easily lose half a lb.
I'll add onto that:
Aliexpress carbon seatpost (125g, $30, easily 100-200g saved over most seatposts)
A lighter seat can also shave an easy 100g
And depending on your stem, you might find 50g saved with a lighter one (from Aliexpress..)
My bolt on skewers were halo saved me 100g over my (high end) stock skewers
