Everyone should create a budget.  If you are not sure how or just not good with money, many businesses such as H&R Block, offer free financial consulting to help you put a budget together.  Knowing where you are spending your money is by far the best way to save.  In most cases, people have no idea where their money is really going and once they see it on paper, not only are they surprised but eager to change their spending habits.

Planning is a great way to save.  Before you go to the grocery store, make a list and stick with it.  If considering a vacation, plan everything.  Heading out with no set direction will certainly lead you to impulsive spending.
