Taking a leaf out of Nic's book (or should that be Nic's blog; no, it doesn't sound right), there are a few things I'd like to do this year.
1. Knit from stash; no yarn buying at all until January 1, 2012. I'm not going to flash my stash at this point, but there is an awful lot of it...
2. Be careful about what I spend on a day-to-day basis. All those small frittered-away amounts on things I don't need would add up to a nice chunk of cash over the year.
3. Read the stack of books-from-charity-shops before I buy any more. I'm better about buying books than I used to be and I'm lucky enough to live round the corner from a very good library.
4. I don't need to buy knitting books/downloadable patterns this year. I have enough of these to enable me to do 1. and more.
There you go then; will keep you posted :o)
Good luck with those, I should probably consider some of these too.

I've been trying to do these things for at least three years - with very limited success.....
