[quote=Anonymous]We have a nanny to avoid having two pick up/drop offs (oldest is in school) so that is one way we are adding an expense (vs. daycare I suppose). I like picking out my own groceries so we don't outsource that, but we do have a housecleaner once a month. We outsource big landscaping projects once every year or 2 but otherwise just do yard maintaining and DH usually does that.

In terms of other hidden ways I may "throw money " at something instead of doing myself: I have a nice leather handbag that is three years old and the handle broke off. If I didn't work I may take the time to contact the company and send it back etc. What I will probably do to save money is try to get it fixed. And ultimately I'm likely to buy another bag.

I may clip coupons or whatever if I stayed home, or shop for more bargains. I tend to prioritize time over money in that regard, though we do a fair amount of shopping at Whole Foods and they don't really compete on price. I don't belong to Costco etc. because I never want to spend my weekends at Costco. Maybe it would be worth it if I stayed home and could get there on a random weekday, though I'm not sure what people buy there...we are really anal about produce and poultry etc. so imagine I would just buy paper products etc. there but I'm not sure.[/quote]
