Changing parts to lighten up the bike

what is a good weight reducer if i wanted to lighten up my bike. i dont want to change the wheels cuz deep vs are very good for what i ride over. i was thinking should i get new cranks that are alum or steel? but are light. my cranks now are old steels from the 70's from a touring bike. is it better to keep the cranks cuz they may be more durable and suck it up or should i reduce weight (im will to spend bout $100-150) also what are good light cranks in that price range? is it worth it to spend that much? i use my bike for commuting
