Be grateful for the things that you have in your life. 
Sometimes we spend money on things that we think we need, to make us happy.  Look at your life, the basics.  Try to find the happiness that surrounds you daily.  Our family phrase is that we are rich with love.  Since we have adopted this, it really has made us happier, and realize money isn't needed.
Be grateful.

I love to eat out.  What is better than a meal that it cooked by someone else, in a kitchen that I don't need to clean up the mess!  If you are on a budget, then eating out is still an option. 

I do find that serving portions at some restaurants are HUGE!  There are some restaurants that we know there is no way that we can eat the whole meal, so we share.  Or we know that there will be enough for lunch the next day and take some home in a Take Away Tray.

I find every single restaurant in the US the servings are massive and we share there too.  We can't take a Take Away Tray when traveling.
Sharing meals is cost efficient and is also good for the waist line!  Almost every single time the servers respond positively when we order an entree to share and say that their portions are huge. 
A few times we have ordered something at the end to eat when we were still hungry, but it hasn't happened often.

On a recent trip to Las Vegas I knew that there would be a lot of walking.  Before we went we had discussed renting a car for the duration of our stay.  Quickly we did some research and discovered our hotel charged a daily parking rate that was quite steep.  With having car rental fees and the stress of not having clear directions we decided to skip car rental. 
I had heard about UBER from listening to the Dave Ramsey show.  It is very easy to pick up rides, but you do need to have a data plan.  If you are doing any travel I suggest UBER vs a taxi, much easier. Here is my referral code, I earn $5 if you sign up from me, thanks.
