1.Clipping coupons, if you aren't all ready. Not just for groceries, but for restaurants and other services too. Buying what is on sale that you need, and avoiding the "want".

2.If you belong to a warehouse club, buying in bulk (meats,fish, beverages, etc). You can freeze meats, and fish for later use. Great if they have a gas station too, here its usually 10 cents less than regular gas stations.

3. For online stuff I'm like a fiend trying to find the cheapest price, or if I can get some sort of reward for shopping at that site (mypoints, igive, etc).

4. Cut down on the magazine subscriptions, most of them you can read online anyway.

5. Clothing, only get one or two "trendy" pieces a season. Build your wardrobe with basic/classic pieces that you will get alot more use out of in the long run.

6. The "latte factor", lets say a pound of coffee at Starbucks is oh..$10.00. $10.00 would only get you maybe 3 cups of coffee at the counter, but could make proabably 5 times that at home.

7. Most importantly - set a budget!
