When buying stuff, ask yourself these questions:
1 - Do I really need it or I like it thus I want it?
2 - Can I delay this purchase of a week?
3 - Is there a way to get the same or similar thing for less money somewhere else?
This helps a lot, at least it helped me.
Plus, check online and ebay for things you want to buy. Sometimes its cheaper to buy online that in stores. Ebay is another great way to find dirt-cheap stuff, but great value.

have automatic withdraws from your check or checking account. If you are working with an employer with a investment benefit, having them take a percentage of your check before you get it.
If you want to do it personally, start very small. Dedicate a small amount you will set aside each week/month. As you start to see this amount grow, you will become more excited about saving, but the initial small amount will be easy to do and keep up. I've often said for people to set just $5 a week/month as a start. Once you get into the habit, it will grow.

Set up an automatic savings plan. Do you have a checking account? If so, have X amount of dollars come out per month automatically and put it into an account that is not easily accesible, like a ING account or ROTH IRA.

Whenever you get a paycheck, pay yourself first and put some money aside. If you always just wait to see "what's left", there never will be anything.
