Try to avoid buying disposables. I don't buy and paper products other than toilet paper. I use cloth for everything and when the clothes wear out I find other old pieces of cloth to use! Other than your underwear wash less during the week. Wear what you have more than once before you wash it, unless you get it really dirtry or smelly!
If you run out of something like rolls or bread try and do w/o for a few days instead of going out and buying it.
Stay home and watch t.v. if it keeps you out of the car and stores! It is still way less expensive than mindlessly driving and even window shopping. ... View related article.
I keep coupons that I want to use and know I have a real need for in a bright colored envelope.

I find this works well as it stands out in the purse and is easy to locate when I go to digging for it! I do change the envelope once the one I am using becomes tattered and ratty!
