Get rid of the lawn if you have one. And I don't mean covering it with tarmac. Get plants that work with the weather, climate, and close enough to the water availability of the area. If it's Texas or Arizona, pick some things that work in dry hot weather and so on.
With the water saved one can do a lot more useful stuff - if you use it in garden for instance you can grow your own food.

Wash clothes when they get dirty or smell, not before and not after every use (excluding underwear).
Keep work clothes separate from home clothes, and they'll last longer.
Try a "no pants" day home. Put on jammies or something else comfortable (makes the pants last longer).
