I set a budget at the beginning of this year to really dial in on the details. Every month was spelled out in advance with tweaking as needed. It really helped me save this year.
Also, meal planning. Dialing into sales. Cooking in bulk and preserving. Reusable cleaning supplies (cloths that can be cleaned and re-used for a long time) Growing vegetables and herbs. It helps that I can eat the same soup (or whatever) for days and not mind it at all.
The majority of my extracurricular activities are things like hiking, riding my bike, and other outside easy free things. I'll treat myself to concerts or shopping intentionally when it's planned for.
