[quote=Anonymous]I already gave up a lot to do this -

No cable
No text plan
[b]Go to library for books/movies
Eat less meat, cheese; cook more vegetarian food[/b]
No housecleaner
No lawn maintenance
[b]Lower the thermostat in the winter and raise it in the summer
Wash all clothing in cold water (this saves a lot of money, believe it or not!)
Hang laundry to dry (ditto) (You can do this indoors, which is what I do. I have a clothes rack from IKEA)
Cut alcohol (it's expensive)[/b]

We don't go out to eat anymore and SBX is a no no
I clip a lot coupons and only buy what's on sale.  Some weeks that means we get a lot of chicken and random cookies.  Other weeks we get flour and syrup.  This week it was toilet paper and paper towels.

Next on the list is the house cleaner and the lawn service will probably follow.

I'd love to give up cable but DH won't here of it.

If I still need to come up with money then the kids activities have to go.

My biggest expensive is private school.  As you can see, I give up a lot for that.  And I'm okay with that.  But if tuition keeps increasing and my salary does not, that will have to go as well.  And heck...if that bill goes, I can everything else back :)
