[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 134976, member: 1722"] We are fortunate that husband has a job that allows him to work from home 2-3 times a week. He now fills his tank about every 2.5 weeks... a big savings! We make sure our cars get their regular maintenance and especially keep and eye on air pressure in our tires. It can make a big difference. We wear sweaters and slippers at home, use thermal curtains and are religious about turning out lights. I try to plan my laundry day for the coldest day of the week so we get a heat bump from the dryer. Since I'm home doing laundry, that's also a good day to to make a roasted meal in the oven. I plan our meals so that we don't have a lot of waste and I'm not making multiple trips out for groceries in a week. I also "inventory" what I have on hand so that I don't overbuy. I shop at our less expensive grocery store (Wegmans) but don't like our local Aldi's. I also shop the other grocery store's weekly ad (Tops). I take the Tops ad to Wegmans and compare prices as I go through the store. I stop at Tops on the way home to get the less expensive stuff there. I try to go to town no more than once a week and to the bigger town once a month. It helps. We use inexpensive or free entertainment: library, local rec programs, school stuff. I shop garage sales and our church rummage sale when possible. It makes a big difference. :) [/QUOTE]
