Tips to economize:

Whenever practical, shop online; car parts, music, clothing, jewelry etc.

When that isn't practical, shop where the price is best.

Eat out less frequently.

Drink at home, and a choose a cheaper brand.

Sell your power boat: switch to sail, or a canoe.

Don't panic and rush out to buy a new car that gets better mpg if your current car is in good shape and is paid for; the car payment will not offset savings in cost of gasoline, unless you put on a whole lot of miles.
