Save Money on Software
You can save hundreds of dollars by using free, open source software instead of pricey commercial programs.
For example, OpenOffice.org is a suite of software similar to Microsoft office, and includes software for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations that is compatible with Microsoft's file formats. There are versions available for both Windows PCs and the Macintosh.
There are many other good quality free programs: a useful collection (for Windows computers) can be found on The Open Disc (http://www.theopendisc.com/) that is available as a single download. There is a special student edition as well.

Just be Smart in Finding Bargains and Deals
Do a lot of online shopping and research before buying to maximize the return on every dollar spent is important. With Internet, it has become much easier to research what I buy before taking out the wallet.
Understanding the policies of different stores is important too. For example, Staples, OfficeMax, and Office Depot have free shipping when an order is over $50.
Amazon is pretty good in this regard. I love Amazon's so called super saver shipping where most items get free shipping when an order is over $25. After all, Amazon is a reputable retailer and they have useful user reviews on the site too.
Speaking of free shipping on Amazon, I recently also came across a pretty neat "filler finder" for Amazon's free shipping. It is at:
http://www.superfiller.com
Perhaps others will find it useful too.

Getting braces for your kids
Some dental and healthcare expenses can't be avoided. Braces for kids are expensive. My parents opted to say "No" and I consequently had to pay for my own orthodontia when I was in my 40s. Then I didn't wear my retainer faithfully, and had to get re-braced for an additional $1200 (yikes! save money & wear your retainer) Now that my kids need braces, I negotiate hard because I've paid for my own, and now for my kids. I like to pay in cash, or at least 50% in cash. Read my short article "How to Get the Best Price for Orthodontic Braces: 7 Steps to a Straight Smile" at www.associatedcontent.com/article/1568565/how to get the best price for orthodontic.html?singlepage=true

Save Few Bucks
I completely agree with the eating in part. That itself would save lot of money every month, and would improve the health too.
One thing that i recommend is using your rewards to buy stuff when the times are bad. The rewards will expire eventually so it the perfect time to use them. I use http://www.awardwallet.com to track all of my reward programs and it actually notifies me via email if any of my rewards are going to expire.
