Ways to Save Money

Ever since I got married last year and ever since the cost of living in my city has skyrocketed while salaries have remained pretty stationary, I've started to think of ways to save money without necessarily sacrificing the quality of my life. Here are a few ideas--what are some of yours?
1) Opting for weekend trips rather than long vacations that might be more expensive because of air travel
2) Opting to stay carless and rent a car or use ZipCar/City Car Share services when necessary
3) Buying groceries rather than eating out a lot
4) Having dinner at friends' houses instead of going out to bars/clubs for socializing
5) Limiting buying clothes to a seasonal activity rather than using the plastic when the occasion strikes
6) Cutting out coupons in the paper for grocery shopping
7) Taking advantage of major holiday sales
