Spend less on gas since you won't be driving far to get anywhere. You can also walk or ride your bike to the store or to your friend's house since it's probably right down the road.

Participate in activities that don't involve spending a lot of money. Small towns aren't packed with over-priced restaurants or giant shopping malls, so go hiking, fishing, swimming, biking, horseback riding or go visit friends instead.

Grow your own produce. Since you're likely to have more land once you've moved to a small town, set up a garden in your backyard where you can grow your own vegetables.

Tips & Warnings
Small towns aren't known for their booming employment opportunities. If you keep your job in the city, you can still cut costs by carpooling or taking public transportation rather than driving your own car every day.
