First and foremost, if I can't pay cash for it, I don't need it that badly.
Secondly, I always save a minimum of 10% a paycheck. Even if at times it is a struggle, you never know when there will be an emergency.
Perform routine maintenance/repairs on major appliances, car etc. The little money you spend now can save you hundreds or thousands later.
All change goes into a jar and that adds up quickly.
Coupons, coupons, coupons.
For magazines use www.discount-magazines.com for $5.95 subscriptions. Or go to Low Priced Subs for even lower prices (have special bargain prices sometimes).
For books try www.booksalefinder.com to find used book sales in your area. Tip: this is also a great way to find books to sell on eBay or other online auctions. Half.com and Alibris.com are also great to find books.
Read newspapers online, don't get a subscription. Can easily read most of them online.
Use www.retailmenot.com for coupon codes for online shopping. Or go to www.slickdeals.net for coupon codes or shopping deals.
Redbox.com is found at the supermarket and is only $1 to rent a movie for the evening. They carry the latest releases. You can even rent movies from McD's.
