To trick yourself into saving money, you need techniques that are so inconspicuous that your day-to-day routine remains unaffected by money-saving efforts.
You need to feel as if all of the sudden, you’re saving money while doing nothing to make it happen. Anything less and it wouldn’t be a money-saving trick—it’d just be saving money.

Double up on your credit-card points or turn your debit card into a cash-back rewards card. The Dosh App is a smartphone app that piggybacks on your credit and debit cards.
Declutter your closet and drawers. Remove all the clothes you no longer wear, and sell them.
