We don't eat out as much, we only by the necessities, we don't drive as much
ReplyDeleteI would love to say that we have made a lot of changes, but it seems like lately, we have not been doing great saving. We are redoing the outside of our house, so it seems like all we have been doing is spending.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying not to waste things, and I try to only buy things that I know I will use. From groceries to cleaning products, to clothes.
ReplyDeleteWE've always lived very frugally, within our means, so no changes for us.
ReplyDeleteNo more eating out at all.
ReplyDeletewe started buying more generic food items
ReplyDeleteWe definitely don't get to do as much or shop for new stuff often enough. We don't eat out anymore really either.
ReplyDeleteWell, we don't have any dish or cable services. But we never watched tv that much anyway.
ReplyDeleteI've been more careful not to buy my children clothing that they don't need.
I've seen some bloggers who do amazing things with coupons. I've thought about it.
Coupons, or as my son so lovingly calls them "poop-ons". We use them when grocery shopping and I'm trying to shop wiser. I'm buying off brand items and sticking to a list.
ReplyDeleteI am like the government, I am living off of my credit in hopes that I can pay my 2 cars off before my credit balances get too high!
ReplyDeleteWe don't eat out as often, and we have a garden that gives us fresh veggies for FREE!
ReplyDeleteI've just been shopping less for things that we really don't need.
ReplyDeleteI used to take the girls to the mall to walk around, but have stopped doing that since it made it easy to spend money on things I didn't need.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy, safe weekend!
