It seems many of us are doing more belt tightening recently. I thought we could start a thread to keep a running tab on what we are doing.
I cut off garbage service yesterday. They were charging $25 a month to come every other week. I can drop the same amount of trash at the dump for $8. Even if you figure in $5 a month for gas to get there it is still a savings of $12 a month.
I am reducing our grocery budget by another $100 a month to put that $ toward the graduation party in June.
I'm looking into changing satellite providers for a savings of $20 a month. I'm not sure on this one though as we would be under contract and I like the idea of being able to cancel penalty free if things got hard. pondering.
