Tips for Saving Money, Cutting Expenses, etc.

[PhoenixAzul]

I mentioned in the other thread that my husband and I are in a bit of a bind lately because of my injury/lack of jobs out there, but we've been doing a lot of what you listed up thread.

-Keeping our heating/lighting costs down by opening windows/blinds.
-staying in and playing rock band or watching our NetFlix rather than going out
-If we go out, we split meals or take home leftovers
-At least one of us cycles to work every day so we can save cash on gas.
-Library books
-Coupons and double coupons if we have to go to the grocery store
-Aldi (hey, a can of tomatoes is a can of tomatoes)
-Growing our own veg with some friends of ours who have some land...they provide the dirt, we provide hands for weeding.
-The credit cards are on lock down.

That's honestly the only reason I get the local paper anymore. (The writing has gone down hill.) They offer a weekend subscription.
