Serve and eat smaller portions. You will probably lose weight, too.

Share the meal when eating out. Many diners and other restaurants will give oversized portions. Share a dish between two people. You can also do this with dessert.
In the summer, only use the air conditioner during the hottest part of the day (noon to 5 pm). After that drink water, have an ice pop, and take it easy. Fans take less energy as well.
Use florescent light bulbs, in the summer. They use less heat and electricity.
Put a portion of your paycheck into an interest-bearing savings account every time. Don’t touch the money unless you can’t cover a bill. Even if it is just $5, it will add up in time.
Every time you break a dollar, put all of your loose change in a jar. Don’t touch the money until the end of the year.
Make your lunch instead of buying out everyday.
