[quote=Anonymous]1. All new clothes are from the thrift store or yard sales for everyone. If the kids want brand new clothes, they can buy them themselves.
2. Kids need to borrow Homecoming dresses from a friend. If they are a unique size, that rewear the same one. If kid is still growing, but used homecoming dresses made of stretchy fabric. 
3. You cut everyone’s hair.
4. No make-up. 
5. I know not everyone gets good light, but if you have access to any kind of land, now you garden.  Buy a few organic vegetables one week and save the seeds. For example, the seeds from one organic bell pepper will be more than enough for next summer’s garden. Replacing any grass you can with a vegetable garden will also save on mowing costs. 
6. Stop all kid activities that require any fees or uniforms. The kids now work ( or look for work) as their primary activity. 
7. Cut gym memberships. Now you walk and garden for exercise.
8. Cut that last streaming service.

I personally have done everything from my list except #6, and that was because a family member paid for the activities. It’s really, really hard. I’m sorry you’re going through this. [/quote]
