Buy only what you need, buy only on cash and not credit, give away things you haven't used for 9-12 months (barring sarees ;)) and so on... Of course my 14-year old daughter hates it because according to her she is in the "want" stage of life and doesn't like to be content with just "needs" Having said that, over these years that I have chosen this path, I've realized there are three things I absolutely cannot resist splurging on - books, travel and sports goods (Decathlon has been my Waterloo for years now) So I have made sure these three go in to my "need for the soul" list! (Note how I've convinced myself these are still "needs" and not "wants"!)
