One way I started saving even more is, at the end of the month, go through all of my receipts and tally up the savings from items on sale, discounts and coupons and transfer that amount to savings. It's easier to do it in a spreadsheet.

One thing saving for a rainy day has always guaranteed... rain. The more saved, the bigger the storm. Last one was cleaned out by hospital bills, and eventually the funeral. No, saving for sunny days... much better.
