[quote=Anonymous]Things are getting expensive out there!

I think overall, we just use alot of things and eat alot. So if you think about the amount you eat and reduce 1/4 of it, it would still satisfy you. 
Start with how big is your breakfast? If you are eating 3 pancakes or 2 biscuits, you really don't need all that unless you are about to go for a long run. 
Stop walk the dessert or chip aisle. Just don't go down that lane. If you are going to buy the newly price $4/bag of potato chips, you should just save that $4 for the blueberries. At least it has good nutrients for you for the long term. Meanwhile, chips are just good for the immediate satisfaction while it might cause health issues later on down the road.

I don't buy more than one type of oil. Do you really need butter and the other oil for baking? Just buy olive oi for cooking. I have made pancakes without the extra oil and without the sugar. So, buy less sugar.

I don't drink alcohol. Phew, that saves alot of money. I don't buy fancy detergent, soap, plastic bags. I don't buy stuff to hold trash and yard trims. I only buy one type of trash bags which is for the kitchen.
