Try to use coupons.  This includes for rental cars, photo processing, etc.

Buy meat when it has dollar off coupons on it when it is close to the sell by date.  I got a whole chicken last week that was $4.66 with 2 $2 coupons on it because the sell by date was the next day.  So it was .66 total.  I roasted it and then the next day made chicken soup with it.  (We have soup multiple times per week.)

Go to stores like Aldi for much of our grocery items.  Buy things that are cheaper.  We might have pineapples one week if they are a cheap fruit and bananas the next.  Recently I saw pineapples for .50 each over Xmas.  I bought 8 of them and used 3, two different times, when we had to being something to family gatherings for the holidays.  This week bananas were .29/lb so I bought 3 bunches.  If we love pineapples but I saw them for $3.99, I just wouldn't buy them then.

Do not buy organic.

I buy thrift store items so I have what I need most of the time.  For example, I would never go buying ski pants or snow boots at Dick's or Sports Authority.  I might buy them though at a thrift store in May.

We make coffee at home.  Yes, we do splurge on expensive coffee but still make it at home.
