These ideas work!!! 1 - i don't buy clothing regularly, and seldom splurge on new items. my "style," too, makes thrifting pretty easy for me, but then again, so does the "required wardrobe" of working at home... 2 - library = good, but then again i've kinda' abandoned any regiment of reading. it has helped me to reduce the $$$ i spend on movie rentals... 3,4,5,6 - all of the above helped, not only to reduce my spending budget, but simplify my life, too. 7 - i try to make all my foods from scratch. it's important here, too, to recognize time-effective strategies (making rice/grain in bulk, owning a pressure cooker to quickly cook beans and other dried goods, having canned tomatoes on hand) 8 - cooking more (and in bulk) will provide more leftovers and foods ready to take to work! 9 - i've been without health insurance for 1.5 years now, which has saved $$$ ... but that's bad!
remember, those $10 here and $10 there pinches add up quickly! :-) we'll have more dinner nights, mmm?
