I've been focusing on saving a lot lately. The biggest thing that has helped me is having a checking account with all the money I'm budgeting for the month and using nothing but that. It includes all spending outside rent/bills. It has forced me to really look at what I'm spending money on, and I've been able to slash my spending by 75% this way. I used to just put everything on a credit card and pay it off at the end of the month. The biggest savers have been around food: eating out less, paying attention at the grocery store, and cooking in bulk.
