Write down all of your purchases. Today, while cleaning & detailing my car and organizing all my stuff (I keep a LOT of stuff in my car, most of it in the trunk, because I live in an oil field man camp during my work time and I usually sleep in my car on days off...when the weather's nice, I pop a tent). Anyway. today I just started writing down everything I buy. This helps you save money because it's sorta like spending cash vs using a credit card- most people are more conscience of how much cash they spend due to the psychological difference. Today I spent $61 and I consider that a LOT to spend in a day, but $24 was for gas (my car requires premium fuel and using lower octane will cause it to be less fuel efficient, and it's a Volvo so it'll last long anyway). Seeing on paper how much I spent total, has made me seek grocery fliers to get all the items on sale. I'm also shopping online for a good deal on tires...but with what it'd cost to ship em, IDK if i'll find a good deal...if anybody has any suggestions for tires, plz share... anyway, write down your purchases!
