Don't know whether this fits here, but I browse and enter as many free on-line competitions as you never know what you might get for nothing.

We have some very effective LED downlighters at work, but they cost £80 each so would have to save a lot of bulbs!

Ditch the credit cards and use cash - it makes you think twice about spending it.

Use a cash back Credit card and get a discount on everything you buy.I have a 1% cash back. So a lotto ticket costs me 99p.
Use all the store points cards you can find.

PAY OFF THE FULL BALANCE EVERY MONTH.

Get a big freezer we have a huge chest freezer and it allows us to buy things on special offer and freeze. (Just raided a certain supermarket for half price legs of lamb - cheaper than a free range chicken) We buy all our fruit and veg (obviously what we don't grow - such as oranges) at our local market and its much cheaper, especially after 1pm on a Saturday
Oh and take a packed lunch to work.

There are some very high efficiency large chest freezers that use no more electricity than a less efficient one with half the capacity. Expensive to buy, but have to save on running costs (and CO2).
The snag is that you need somewhere to put it.......
