[quote=Anonymous]I could probably cut $1k/month from our food budget by cooking from scratch and having a lot of our meals be simple oatmeal (you get a huge tub that makes 30 bowls worth for $3-5), rice & beans with a little cheese & tomato as toppings, quesadillas, grilled cheese, egg scrambles, etc. You say you already cut your take out menu, so cutting down from there would probably not get you the full 1k, but it could make a dent to switch to simpler, from scratch meals. Cable will definitely make a dent - $200 or so right? Have you made sure you're getting a cheap phone plan? We're on t-mobile which is $100/month but it's not the cheapest option. For me, the biggest way to cut $1k would be to change housing and put my kid in an even cheaper in-home. Sometimes it's hard to downsize your costs without downsizing your home. [/quote]
