[QUOTE="Jody, post: 454896, member: 8787"] For health reasons and cost reasons, cooking from scratch. Using beans and mushrooms in place of meat. Using Oatmeal to make things go further and also to get the health benefit. Stopped drinking soda. Using as many coupons as I can find and stocking up when item is on sale. Shopping for buys all year for Christmas, so it doesn't hurt at the end of the year. Becoming more cost conscious of all things and saving what I can whenever I can. I used to be considered to have slight hoarder issues when it came to butter containers and such, but now a lot of people are going back to using them. I am growing my own herbs and some vegetables. Utilizing local farmers markets for produce. Going to a lot of garage sales and goodwill. Hardly ever buy something brand new and love, love love my bargains. I think that it is time that we go back to some of the old ways. My kids are less spoiled, and understand the value of a dollar more. I am more thrilled now when I get something that I have wanted for a long time, versus going out and just getting what I want when I want it. Of course not cars or anything like that, but an outfit or new drapes or movies/books whatever. I appreciate it more. [/QUOTE]
