Here are some really easy ways to spend less without deliberately repeating all of the good ideas mentioned thus far:

1) If you use a credit card for convenience rather than for credit, switch to a rewards card. We put $30 back in our pocket each month. If you do use a credit card for credit, work to pay it off!
2) Try store/generic brand if it's cheaper than name brand. There may be no difference in quality.
3) Shop thrift stores for clothes. It's not all junk, and you can occassionally get blue jeans for $1 or less.
4) Clean out your cars. You sacrifice about 1 MPG for each 100 pounds of extra cargo.
5) Check out the Usenet group misc.consumers.frugal-living, which has different members than the ever-popular SavingAdvice.com forum!
