one thing that I've always done is never spend change, I collect it in a bucket then every so often cash it in, isn't going to make you rich by no means but you'll be surprised how much money you will save.
Another thing Im doing is. I'm working two jobs that bring in a bi-monthly income I get a check through one of them and a direct deposit through the other, the money that I get through direct deposit is only used for one really small bill and the rest goes to saving and investing, while I keep the other check for all my other bills and spending money(gas, food, entertainment, ect....) so even though Im making more money my stardard of living hasn't changed. but it will pay off in the future

Recycle paper items like envelopes and one-sided paper for use as shopping lists or scratch pads. Paper is getting more and more expensive.
Use rechargeable batteries. Current portable electronics are burning through batteries at a rapid pace. You've probably got battery operated alarm clocks, caller-id boxes, wall clocks, and other items that could benefit as well. By using rechargeables, the environment wins and so does the savings account.
Reduce the recommended quantity of cleaning products. It's a matter of trial and error. Start by reducing amounts in half. This works with shampoo, shower gel, dishwasher detergent, etc. You could save from $20 to $100 per month with this method.
