Living in a constant state of debt for two decades has led me to be ever-vigilant for ways to do literally everything less expensively than I'm doing it now. A few examples: buying food in bulk, driving the car as infrequently as possible, doing price-comparisons online, paying attention to "shelf prices" in stores, ordering the least expensive (yet still appetizing) thing on the menu, eating at home often, giving hand-made gifts, going on "free" outings or excursions, being patient enough to wait for outstanding sales on just about everything, watching for clearance or closeout items in stores and online. The main key to saving money is always constant vigilance.
