[quote=Anonymous]We always cooked at home and very rarely eat out (maybe 3-4 times a year in US) because majority of american restaurants are junk and those who cook good quality food is very expensive. We do buy high quality meat, eggs, dairy and produce from farmers, event though it is very expensive, it is still cheaper than eating out. We only eat out when we travel. 
We always kept cars for at least 18-20 years, so no changes.
We always buy clothing on sale (coats at the end of winter season, bathing suits at the end of each summer). I never bought anything from new collection. 
Books are still purchased in our household regularly, but mostly these are used books and those that we want to keep for years, the rest of the books we get from library. 
I have never being to any sporting events, so that is not something to cut for us, but we reduce the amount of concerts we see and focus more on less expensive or free concerts, which are plenty in this area.

OP, I think you previously lived the life freely spending on all the wants. Just focus on what needed for your family and you will be fine.
