Join a neighborhood group, (like Nextdoor or a neighborhood Facebook group). Participate in the convos, be friendly. Ask if anyone makes regular runs to warehouse stores in your area, offer to pay for their gas if they pick up a few things for you. Saves you the cost of the membership card, WAY cheaper than a delivery service and saves lots of unnecessary impulse buying, plus you get to meet your neighbors.

Participate in your neighborhood's Buy-Nothing project (a Facebook group). Neighbors offer things they don't need anymore for free (and you can get rid of stuff you don't need).

If you're buying something online, leave it in your cart overnight before purchasing it. You may talk yourself out of it.

Reorganize your cupboards and closets. You probably already have things you're thinking about buying. I just found three packages of paper towels in the back of a kitchen cupboard that I'd forgotten I put there.
