I live well within my means, and from a lot of the questions I see posted here such as payday loans, huge credit card debt, begging, and so forth, it is obvious many people don't.
To help save money, I:
Bring iced tea mix to work rather than spend $1.50 on Snapple
I stock up on frozen entrees when they are 50% off and keep them in the freezer at work for a cheap lunch
I get all the free samples I can from startsampling.com, walmart.com and from offers I see on tv. I probably get enough free deodorant to last a month or two every year. It adds up.
I walk rather than take the bus or subway whenever possible and practical
I air dry my clothes halfway, and then put them in the dryer to save on electricity
I buy all my shampoo and soap at the dollar store
I hit the thrift stores every week or two. You really have to comb through the racks, but I once got a $580 Ralph Lauren shawl with the store tags still on for $25
I save at least 10% of my pay every week
