For me, it would be planning and then shopping based on my list. If the meals are planned and I have all of the ingredients, then I'm that much more likely to actually cook at home instead of relying on convenience foods or going out to eat.
The other thing that factors in for us is that we don't buy meat, and that seems to be one of the things that's often mentioned when shopping the sales and freezing stuff.
