I discovered that one of our local grocery stores gives a 10% discount to Senior citizens on Tuesdays (my hubby qualifies so he has to go with me), also the ads come out on Mondays, so i can plan what I need.

The same store gives you anywhere from $.02 to $.05 cents off per gal of gas on certain items that you purchase on sale...thye announced this week that they would allow you to collect and combine up to 5 grocery store receipts at a time...every little bit helps!

We also have definitely planned our errands and trips so that we try to do in 1 -2 trips per week instead of just going when we think of something we need. 

We have cut out eating meals out except for 1-2 times per onht and then we do it during the week when we can get specials.  Most restaurants offer deals when you eat dinner out M-Th or we will go to dinner early or lunch late and get the lunch special before 4:00PM instead of paying a higher price for the same thing after 4PM.

I don't carry more than $2-3 in my wallet, because I have found that by having to use my debit card and writing it in my check book I am more aware of my spending and my bank balance.  Before each of us had a weekly "allowance" and you better believe if it is in your wallet you
WILL spend it!

I actually added the bundle to our cable/internet/phone. We had vonage which was about 30 a month, and then internet and cable were 100 (basic cable too!). So the cable company had a deal where you get phone, internet, and basic cable for 99, so we got rid of vonage and did the bundle deal, saving 30 a mo!
