[quote=Anonymous]For me, working from home has been the biggest money saver. I dont have to pay for transportation costs, work clothes, lunches, etc. 
Other things for us have been:
-Not buying the latest electronic/gadgets. We don't have an ipad and I don't even have a personal cell phone under my name. I just use the one that my company gave me for work.
-Not buying breakfast cereals. Not a big fan of them anyway, but my husband was addicted.  We use to buy at least 3 boxes of those per grocery trip.  Now we do oatmeal- it comes a long way and it's healthier. 
-Just cooking more in general. Not buying too many boxed things like mac-n-cheese, or frozen meals. I've found that cooking things homemade is actually cheaper than buying convenience foods.
-Buying fruits and veggies at the Asian food store.
-We drive old cars. Haven't had a car payment in 7 years and plan to drive our cars till they basically die.
-Giving up the cleaning lady.
-Giving up on Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc.
-Not going to the salon to get manis/pedis. I've also found an Asian salon that will cut my hair and do my brows, etc. for less than half the price of what I used to pay in a fancy salon.  They do just as good of a job  but without the New Age relaxation music in the background.
