Just don't buy things. Put it back on the shelf, or better yet, don't go into the store to begin with.
Honestly that's my biggest savings tip. Chances are you didn't really need it or had something already on hand that would work just fine. There's so little that we really need. "Stuff" doesn't bring happiness and usually just ends up costing money to clean, maintain, store, and insure.
If I find I really want something, I tell myself I can come back next week and get it. And 99 times out of 100 I've forgotten about it before I even got home.
