By far and the easiest way to save money is to be financially responsible. Everything in life almost costs money, but if you think about it. You don't need to drop cash on things you don't need or already have. Any big spending is a big no-no when you don't have a lot of money.
Have a budget. Set limits for how much money you will spend on certain stuff. Even the wealthiest people in the world have surprisingly frugal habits. It won't hurt if you do the same.
