I just bought the miracle berry from http://www.miraclefruitworld.com/ Miracle berry is a fruit that makes sour things taste sweet, imagine what you can save, buying lemons instead of chocolate. Also, the miracle berry makes it easier to lose weight. Rule out the sugar in recipies or drink lemonade or other drinks that would require sugar to taste good.
If you're not interested in any of the benefits you could have from buying the miracle fruit, you should still buy so that you can have a good laugh when you're friends are looking at you, eating lemons without making any funny faces... :-b
Thats why Im buying them, and because I work in a grocery store. So that I can tip those who cant have sugar...

Join a discount club and stock up on meats in bulk (especially buy the reduced for quick sale - take them home, divide and freeze).
Avoid eating out! Too expensive...
Buy the things you use alot in bigger packages - often cheaper than the small packages. If you aren't sure you will use it all, many things can be frozen!
Buy some refillable water bottles and forget buying water! Better for the environment too.
Use a shopping list and stick to it! Don't go to the grocery store hungry - will end up with a lot of extras...

Just last weekend I made Chicken alfredo with sun dried tomatoe on whole wheat. Whole Wheat tortilla, left over rotisserie chicken, diced sun dried tomatoes, and some alfredo that was left over in a jar.
All of that is for food savings. The gas part - saved you from driving around to eat out - or multiple trips to the grocery store.
Keep your errands in an order further from home to closest. Try and run errands around your on your way home of it is easier - better than making a special trip.
Order what you can online for household or specialty items. Let UPS burn the gas.
Breakfast on the run draining your cash? Make some breakfast burritos in advance for a couple of days during the week to just nuke and go.

Also, if you are a soda junkie, buy your stuff in packs and drag some to work. $4.00 for a 6 pack beats 7.50 buying them individually.
