[quote=Anonymous]The sibling discount at most places is only 1-3% - totally not worth it to make a change based on that. We are about to have 2 in daycare also OP - luckily I can make OT if I need to, so I set aside a few nights a week to work after they are in bed, and I work through my lunches sometimes. I also started carpooling to work instead of taking bus/metro. That saves me about $100/month. We cut out our biweekly house cleaning service. This one makes me sad. We both make good salaries, have a reasonable mortgage, but it's a tough few years. Our health insurance premiums are really expensive too. I don't have any other great solutions beyond eating cheap food, giving up gym memberships, put a moratorium on buying clothes for the parents, buy clothes for the kids secondhand, and take advantage of free activities. Don't spend much on birthday gifts for the many parties the older gets invited to. Hope some others have good ideas![/quote]
