I strive to balance frugality with enjoying the fruit of my labor. For instance, I could drink tap water which tastes awful at my house or I could stop at the convenience store and buy a bottled water everyday. Instead, I buy bottled water in bulk each week and take it with me. I am being somewhat frugal without totally compromising what I enjoy.

I agree with BCHGRL - I pack my lunch everyday (not one of those lean cuisine meals!). If I'm to eat out a meal at work, it's usually breakfast which is cheaper - although this is rare. I will usually just get a Wawa coffee.
I clip coupons, wait for things to go on sale, and do not spend a lot on entertainment compared to my other 20-somethings. It's not frugal but it's saving money.
