[QUOTE="Jena, post: 203789, member: 4514"] hi, wow great ideas......... we have already scaled back as much as possible. unfortunately boyfriend and I both have V8 trucks on the road. needless to say the gas is insane, we are up to $3.25 here now. we cut out dinner's out with the kids on the nights we have them all. we cut down on our own date night and only go out for dinner once a mos. (it truly is the only thing we do, and if he's willing to pay i dont' want to give it up) i buy only sale items when i food shop, i plan my meals around what it is i buy. i also use coupons every week. i have been doing garage sales as of late in search of a new coffee table, his daughter sat on it and broke it yup we loved it but it's a goner. i haven't bought anything new for myself in very very long. i also decided to cut back on getting my hair cut, since i have no job now. ok let me just say i know how to cut hair learned years ago yet don't have a license, and cutting back on hair cuts bad bad idea!! lol i caught a glimpse today of myself and i could of screamed. i'm letting the blonde highllights grow out and the grey's coming thru!! ok we don't pay seperate heating or electric it's included where we live (we don't own a house). on weekends with kids i find free things to do with difficult child in the neighborhood ie, festivals, kite festival etc. there is alot to do in our town. yet most of time i wind up spending something unfortunately. i buy cheap shampoo's and conditioners, when i worked i bought what i wanted i bought the good stuff. we also haven't moved, we were going to rent a house at this point decided not to because of the economy, he was unable to sell the store tax hit was too hard and high so instead he's building up the business instead, he also cut back on staff yet hired a main person that cooks to free him up to work on building it up.
