Buy things with cash....don't pay interest (make your house the only exception)
Turn off your lights
Buy generic
Don't spend money on things that depreciate quickly (cars, computers, etc)
Drop your cable and high speed internet.
Don't buy DVD's. Go to discount movie theatres, and use coupons.
I think the other question you can ask yourself is "how can I make more money." Focus on decreasing expenses AND increasing income.

The best way to save money is to SPEND less than you make. It may sound like common sense but a lot of people just spend WAY more than they make.
You will need to budget your income and expenses and find out what your monthly cash flow looks like and then adjust your spending according to your cash flow.

Spend less than you make ... well, duh.
The biggest difficulty with this is actually doing it. So how do you do it? With firm goals and targets, that's how. Define clearly where you want to be. Make achieving those goals IMPORTANT.
Once you have defined goals that are important - high priority goals that matter - you will not be tempted to spend money on useless goods and activities that are not connected to your goals.
