[quote=Anonymous]Just don't shop at Whole Foods, unless you have to.

Have designated days/week to eat out, and stick to that plan.

Plan dinners, make a grocery list and stick to it.

Plan meals around what is one sale at your main grocery store.

No "frivolous" shopping. And when you do need clothes, go to a store like TJ Maxx or Marshall's.

Coupon:  for example, I have not paid full price for laundry detergent, dish soap, toothpaste, shampoo, or conditioner for a year.... since I started couponing. This morning, I went to CVS and bought a Colgate toothpaste, mouthwash, and toothpaste, and Pantene shampoo and conditioner... for $5.13 TOTAL.  Plus, got $5 in Extrabucks to use toward my next purchase.  I don't have time to do this at all the stores, so I stick to the two where I do the most shopping:  at Harris Teeter and CVS.

No more coffee shops.... make coffee at home for a fraction of the cost.

Take water/snacks in the car so you don't eat out.  I use my cooler every day.

Get a reusable water bottle for everyone in your family.

GROUPON... I love this concept and the website.  Its how we're doing a lot of fun stuff with the kids this summer. (i.e. water parks, restaurants, boat rides, etc.).

Good luck to you.  [/quote]
