I get that question a lot, but it's possible so long as you're not spending on... well, anything. I've spent a lot of the last 2 years adjusting to not needing to buy things and disposing of luxuries (I wouldn't have called them luxuries at the time, but it's surprising how much isn't needed). What I do buy I find ways to acquire things very cheaply.
There are food blogs like this: http://www.theskintfoodie.com/ (Tip: Waste nothing, buy precisely what you need and plan how to use every bit)
You can get clothing from places like this: http://www.barone.co.uk/ (Tip: There's a huge supply chain from which you can purchase long before things hit shops)
I've turned off broadcast TV, cancelled the TV licence, and just watch on catch-up via iPlayer, etc.
Cycling cuts travel costs, though I keep a PAYG Oyster for when I'm with others and will make a journey with them.
Cheap until to see the mooring fees, and various add ons, in London. Even on the outskirts in places like Kingston upon Thames, once you add in all the fees, boats are not that much cheaper. That said, given the choice between a boat and some poky flat in London, for me it has to be the boat every time.

And so on.
