I do all my errands one day a week,usually Thursdays. Cut back on eating out,although we still go on Fridays to all you can eat walley..$7.99. I still get pedicures,thanks to my Christmas gift from my son,those will cut down when the cg is $0. I ALWAYS use coupons and use them with sales,this has been the main help for me,saves me alot of money.Keep A/C at the same setting,also use ceiling fans.

I guess I will just have to do 100% of my shopping on the Internet instead of only 95%. Less gas, less temptation, less impulse buying and less aggravation.
If you use your Entertainment books and coupons right you can still go out to eat quite a bit and actually spend less money than at the grocery store.

I cut back on trips to town and try to only go to the store once a week. I'd love to get rid of Dish, but we have a contract that would make us pay out the remainder of the time anyway, so there's no point in that. Same thing with the cell phones. We don't eat out. The only thing that we can really cut back on is the internet, but it looks like I'm going to need it for school. I can spend $35 a month for the internet, or spend $70+ to drive to the next nearest campus if my local campus doesn't carry the classes I need. We did change to the cheaper shampoos, laundry and dish detergents, and I now buy a lot of store brands when I grocery shop. If I could get hubby to quit smoking that would help A LOT! And once I start school I'll be saving about $40 a week in gas.

It will definitely be eating out. I pretty much cut out everything else. Now, I grocery shop online and actually save money. I shaved about 50 bucks off of my grocery bill by shopping online. I get a lot of online specials, discounts, etc and I get to use my bonus store card. I do pay a delivery fee of 9 bucks but that is offset by not using the gas to drive to the store. I now buy only what I need and I have time to shop for the best price. The only downfall to it is that you can't use coupons but again, you get special discounts, prices and promotions for shopping online.
