[quote=Anonymous]How are you cutting back on costs? I have a solid income/job and a decent savings. However, I am single and have no one to fall back on should times become more challenging. I am becoming more recession conscious by implementing the following:

Eating out less;
Delaying purchases completely or comparison shopping for bargains;
Discontinuing dry cleaning and handwashing or gentle-cycling my clothes in the washing machine;
Raising the thermometer;
Delaying travel;
I got invited to two parties back-to-back weekends at the end of June. Both are on the other side of town so to conserve gas and gift purchases, I only committed to attend one event;
I drive to work because Metro is unclean/unsafe. To cut costs, I increased my tw days to prevent excess expense for parking/gas. I am also shopping around for cheaper garages.
I am shopping generic brands more when possible;
I am using every last drop of products (e.g., squeezing out toothpaste, bodywash etc.)
I am reusing paper towels. Most can last two or three times before needing to be trashed.

What are other ideas?[/quote]
