Meal plan - have a look in your cupboard before you do up your grocery list and create meals around what you already have in stock.
Limit food waist by only buying what you are going to use. No point to buying bulk for some items if you are going to throw them away.
Shop fortnightly or even order online. The less times you enter a shop the less likely you'll impulse buy.
Throw away catelogs as soon as you get them. I only look at them if I am after a particular item
Don't get take away. We prefer to treat ourselves by going out for breakfast or lunch monthly
Don't buy magizines
Get your partner to take lunches to work or at least snacks. Cut back on take away coffee.
Limit pre pack conveince foods including soft drink, chips or biscuits
Buy the bulk of your kids clothes second hand or ask friends with older kids for hand me downs. I buy my girls only a couple of new special outfits per season. I have been fortune that my girls friends have passed heaps of clothes on.
Go to fruit and veg markets instead of retail. We say $30/40 per week when we go.
Ditch as many cleaning products as possible and use microfibre clothes. I only use around 3 cleaning products.
