Become a Homebody

Make your home a place where you want to be.  Make it physically comfortable, pleasant and welcoming; develop interests that you can pursue at home (reading, cooking, gardening, writing, sewing, art, woodworking, etc.); develop a happy, well-evolved family life.  (Turning off the television and the computer games help a lot with this last.)  This doesn't require a house full of expensive stuff.  If you like your home and live in it fully, you'll be less likely to want to escape from it frequently, burning fuel and clogging the roads.

This is a great tip! I have been practicing this for quite some time now, and it really does cut down on expenses and best of all my footprint!
