Not sure if it really saves money but a trick my sister has always done is round everything up in her checkbook. If she writes a check for $25.01, she puts $26 in the ledger. She claims it keeps her from spending as much. Frankly I'm too anal about having it come out to the exact penny to be able to do that but it must work a little for her. She manages the money in their household and they just puchased a house for just under $850,000.
