I was fortunate in that my great grandparents lived long enough to still be alive up until my teen years. We're talking about people born in the late 1800's. They "went to town" once every couple of weeks. Granted they lived on farms, but when your shopping list consists of flour, coffee, tobacco, and sugar you're not really funding douchebaggery.
Bring your lunch
Eat at home
You don't need a big house
Get out of high cost of living areas
Drive your car until you're walking with the license plate under your arm
Buying alcohol, beer, and wine is for suckers
Do you really need a new phone?
Your kids would be better off without all the crap you're buying them.
Well some of us really need a new phone. My 5S will not work come next year. I ran it as long as I could but it's 3G so I'm screwed. I do a lot of the other things you mention.
The main weapon you have is to stop consuming.

Who needs spelling when you have a damn vegetable garden!

Welcome to the planned obsolescence world!
You can get a "dumb" Alcatel phone for 70 bucks. No apps, but has a browser.
I like my new motorola very affordable for a genuine phone.
All of those are my goal. I don't succeed at all of them but I do what I can.
