It's easy: if your income is comming you pay your bills and put aside a part to save on the bank (different account). The rest is for living! If you do a good job you have money left over to shop as well.

You should stop going the shopping center to save money. If you spend your time at your home, you could save your money automatically.

I think it still up to you,you have to control yourself in buying stuff that you want but not badly needed.You have to separate first the money you have to save before spending into something that you want.Save first before spending.

Carry just the money you need to spend. You can leave your debit or credit card at home and carry cash only.

When i was single, i used to shop a lot even the things that i need i will buy it. But since I'm married and need to save for the future and for my family, what i do is i always make a list of the important things to buy. Then i only bring exact money to avoid excess "buy" which is not necessary to buy. Why not try this simple strategy, it might help you to save money. Good Luck :)
