[edit] Steps

Be accurate. Wear your clothes, jewelery, shoes accurately. Take care of your clothing. Make sure it's always neat and tidy. Try not to get it dirty. Make your clothes last as much as possible, so that your parents won't have to spend the money on clothes.
Don't renew your clothes every season. If the rich wannabees can spend hundreds of dollars a month to wear the latest trends, you don't neccessarily have to do that. Dress according to your status. If you're not super rich, there's no sense spending tons of money on designer clothing.
Gas.It takes awful lot of money to drop you off to your friend or take you to school. You can change your family budget by refusing using your car and just taking a walk. It's good for you and your environment. Or take a bus.
Footwear. Try not to get your shoes dirty. If there's a hole in your sneaker, it's fine, as long as it isn't as big as your big toe. If you want, you might ask to borrow your friend's or sister's shoes for a day. And again, buying trendy footwear is unwise. Shoes for less is a perfect place for you to keep your budget cool.
5. Be thrifty. Don't use Kleenex tissues to blow your nose. Instead, go to the sink.
