Based on the above, I think you could easily cut $240+/mo from this one category in your budget.[/quote]

Entertainment is not a recurring expense.  DD attended a rock concert last month.  Same for Restaurants/Dining Out.  We rarely, if ever, go out.  Last month, we did.  
$5.10 under Other was entrance fee to Great Falls National Park.  Our yearly pass had expired.  
As to $2.99 – movie rental.  Kinda getting nit picky there, eh?
