What ways have you found to save money?

On anything, utilities, food, clothes, gas, etc.

For example I buy most of my meat in bulk, and then divide it up myself before freezing it.

    I steal cable. I have a long distance plan. I take transit to work. I only eat out once a week.

    I generally don't plan to save money, I just do. I don't really need too but it is nice to cut costs.

    For all the money I save, I just shop more! :)
