One thing that has kept me from saving in the past is my confusion of my "wants" and "needs". An outcome of this is me constantly spending money on things that aren't necessary instead of buying things that are useful. An example of this is when I went to the store and decided to buy expensive band merchandise, as well as my groceries. If I hadn't bought the band merchandise, I could have saved $30. To fix this, I started to work on my self-control and budget management.
