Avoid impulse purchases. If you see something you want to buy, ask yourself if you really need it now, or if you could delay it until next week - it will still be there, right? For many things, the urge to buy it will simply pass, or it will go on sale. If you still want it after a few weeks, you probably really do need it, and you should get it! This way, it's not about doing without, it's just about delaying until you're sure and getting a good deal.
