We watch our health more closely. I try to think ahead more, take a little more time to do things right and I no-longer do things in a ways that could end with broken parts or a doctor's visit.
We always ask the doctor if there is a generic equivalent for a prescription.
Minimized or elliminated broker fees on investments. Monitor investments and update them. Check and compare annual fees on mutual funds closely and then watch them. Steered clear of funds that often invest in other funds (double fees that are rarely disclosed).
Combined vehicle trips for less driving and vehicle maintenace.
We eat-out less. We prepare more food at home and buy fewer pre-packaged foods (often the quality is as-good or better). Bought a popcorn popper (Stir-Crazy) and replaced some snacks and chips with popcorn. Clip grocery coupons for the things we use. Try house brands, many are identical to name-brands at 75% of the cost, a few are not as good.
I put up a good TV antenna and a signal amplifier, added Netflix and dropped cable TV. Ocassionally, if there is a game I really want to see I can often listen to it on the internet or I can pay to watch it thru internet streaming.
I now get phone service bundled thru my internet provider.
Lemonade, iced tea or powdered drink mixes instead of sodas. Mixed drinks instead of beer and wine.
I do more cross-country sking now instead of snowmobiling.
Hunt less, fish more. Travel less.
When it's too humid outside to open the windows, I reset the cooling thermostate to cool the house earlier in the day when it is still cool outside instead of after it's hot out. The air conditioner is more efficient the cooler it is outside.

What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you.
