[quote=Anonymous] No, I may be pregnant, which is probably the most expensive change I can make for the long-term. However, my husband and I have BTDT with a decade of a very frugal life: - buying food only when it's on sale, and buying as minimally packaged and processed as possible, since usually it's cheaper. - cooking from scratch and using up all leftovers. - wasting as little as possible generally. - not heating as much in winter or cooling as much in summer (we still do that, actually: 64 in winter and 76 in summer, but it goes up to 80+ in the bedrooms). - no immediately consumable entertainment like cinemas, restaurants, beauty appointments. We watch movies on our computer screen with Amazon Prime, since we are Amazon Prime customers. We haven't had cable ever. - shopping for furniture at estate sales/IKEA, and for clothes in thrift shops like Value Village (although it takes time and effort). - no expensive kid activities or stuff.
