Can't Stop Spending

I cannot save a single penny, even though I make a decent salary, because I am a terrible spendthrift, especially when it comes to dining out. So far, I have been able to stop using credit cards and to actually look for bargains when I shop for clothing, but the thought of clipping coupons, diluting bleach to extend the life of the bottle, and of not eating out for lunch makes me feel tight and stingy, which is not a good feeling for me (I actually get a stomach ache). How do I get over this, and how do I stick to a decision to stop eating out every day when I've been doing this for years?

Should he budget for enough bedrooms to accommodate his children if and when they visit? Or should he cut the biggest pieces of the income pie for his children and wife, under the theory that he can live in one room? What should his eating out budget be if he has no kitchen and works 10 hours a day? What should the mother with children's food budget be if she does not have a job? How should the rents pie be cut? 60-40? 70-30? 50-50?
