I've always lived on a budget - shoot I even budget my "play money" every month. (Play money is more than I'm allowed to spend on non-essentials such as new lip gloss, a new hair product, etc.).
I have definitely started to cut down my "play money" budget and have started be more observant of grocery store sales, etc.

OMGoodness, this is soooooooooooooooooooooo my issue too. After sitting here calculating, I spend about $50 a week, which adds up to $200 a month!

I always said our gas price was high primarily due to speculation but most people thought I was crazy. LOL I should ask them now why they think the price of gas is so low now. Here in Kansas, it was $2.67 when I filled up today.
