Energy efficient windows. Oppressive summer heat can't get in, so our cooling costs went down quite a bit.

Turning each light I’m not using off. Having only one light on in the livingroom at night, unless I absolutely need more light to look for something. Closer to bed time making sure all the lights are off especially if I’m watching tv in case I fall asleep in front of it. The tv is also on a timer; if it’s idle for too long it turns its self off.
There are times where I cancel or freeze all my monthly subscriptions except for two! This helps!
I will take public transit when I can to places. I will also walk to anything that is within a 45 minute round trip ( about 20-30 minutes one way) verses driving. I drive if I have to carry a lot of things at once, like an 6/8 pack of bubbly water plus groceries.
I give myself a daily budget to spend, like $20. If I spend less on a day I put it away. Once I save enough for whatever it is I consider releasing the $20 limit.
Every pay check I split. Half of the check goes on my credit card. Half of half goes into savings and the rest is what I live on. If my paycheck is smaller than usual, I still put half on my credit card, atleast $10 into savings and then the rest I’ll live on.
I have to pay for laundry in my building so I have an extra amount of underwear and socks and PJs. I have multiples of my work outfit and multiples of casual clothing, and multiple bedsheets + pillow cases, so I don’t have to wash more than once a month. Technically more money up front but saves a lot of money for the year.
I cut out all snacks, except for fruit. If I get snack cravings other than fruit I suck it up and remind myself why I’m saving money. I’ll drink water or make tea or chew gum instead.

Honestly, I been taking the money out. Get the physical cash and put in a jar. Because knowing me, if my money stays in limbo in my account- I’m likely going to spend it on ubereats.
I withdraw at least 70% of my check and put it in a jar.

@Bignakedguy And then you have a house fire or a break-in and boo hoo, lost it all. You want to put that in the bank to collect interest, who doesn't want free money?

We have a Sam's Club membership. Paper products, cleaning products and food is so much cheaper here. Plus they have the cheapest gas prices in town. Plus if you want to eat out you can get s slice of pizza, the size of two everywhere else, and a soda for $2.85. it's hard to eat at home for that price.
Getting an EV and dumping the gas vehicle. Saved about $350/month plus more over time since EV is low maintenance.
