Use Arm & Hammer laundry detergent. It uses activated baking soda. If you want further protection, add one cup of distilled white vinegar to the final rinse water.

How about dropping a "brand level" and see if you notice the difference. A lot of people buy "basics" or "value" brands for stuff like chopped tomatoes and stuff.
Make sure you use up all your leftovers – make a nice hearty soup on a Sunday and you have at least 2 lunches there.
If you shop online always view all offers before you buy anything – if you can get 2 lots of washing powder for the price of one, why be brand loyal
Definitely try to buy you veg and fruit at a local market or green grocer – they are so much cheaper than the supermarket and usually you can buy the exat quantity that you need.
Look out for coupons and discount vouchers for stuff that you actually need – if you collect them anyway try to see if people at work do the same and trade with them for ones that are more useful.

Plan. Budget. Make it happen by setting aside 10% of EVERYTHING you make.

It's an excellent idea. Get into the habit of automatically putting money in a savings account. Don't count on spending it, even when tempting offers come up.
If you get a raise, immediately include the difference in your salary in your savings and continue to live on the same amount as before.
It takes a lot of small, regular deposits to add up to a significant amount. *Then* you can put a downpayment on a home of your own (say, in 5 years) and save money on rent.
