One thing I've started doing (inspired by a different thread) is digging into the pantry and freezer more and trying to use up food we already have. We've already found a few instances of recently buying an item only to discover we had a package of it buried and forgotten in the closet. By using up existing stock, we avoid spending on that item entirely.
