One thing I have started doing is using my online banking system to automatically transfer $5-10 every pay into a separate savings account. I don't miss the small amount, but after a year you would be shocked at how much has built up in there.
I also don't carry cash in my purse, or if I do, it's only a couple of dollars. It cuts out impulse spending on small items which can add up really quickly!! Just cutting out the cash from my purse has saved me a bundle!
I know quite a few people who use the coin collection trick and it seems to work well - as long as you don't dig into it when things get tight.
