Ask yourself: Do I want it? Or do I need it?
Cook your meals in bulk.
"Cook a bunch of meals at the beginning of the pay period and then freeze the extras (I make about 3 servings of a dish so I don’t have to cook as often). It saves me the money I’d spend on eating out." – eliseh6

"I stopped drinking during the work week – it’s healthier, and it has saved me an extra $200 a month!! You don’t realize how much a ‘glass of wine with dinner’ can add up!" – artistthateats
"I learned a new one recently which I’m trying to do. Put away £1 in the first week of the year, £2 in the second week etc (basically £10 for all of January) and increase it by £1 every week. The most you ever part with is £202 in December, but you can always do it in reverse so that you save the most at the beginning of the year rather than at the end as a way to save up for Christmas (i.e. £202 in January, £10 in December).
"The other way of doing this is a fixed £106 per month. Over the year both of these methods mean that you’ll have saved £1272 and even if £100ish a month isn’t affordable, you can always halve it and end up with just over £600. Even better, because you have months where you’re saving such a small amount, if you’re doing ok that month, double it or triple it and you’ll end up with more than you hoped for. If you are a bit strapped, it won’t break the bank to wait until pay day to try to meet your target and if you can’t, it’s fine. Save what you can, when you can afford to." – hannahw41c19af6c
