  • Less ale, sushi, snacky foods.  Rarely goes from thought to action.

  • That's a hard one. Maybe only buy a six-pack of beer instead of a twelve-pack?

    I've pretty much got my household spending to a minimum, so there wouldn't be too much to cut.  I just brought my cable down to basic service and I'm saving about $60 a month.

  • I need to go back to basic. I may lose my HGTV shows, but well worth the savings. I have 200 channels and only watch about 7 of them regularly.

    That's exactly why I went down to the basics.  There was only one show on USA that I was interested in following and I decided that it was more prudent to spend $60 less a month than watch one show once a week.  I can buy the entire season on DVD for less than $60.

  • Home insurance ... Don't bother pay that shizit cos it's useless. also satelight television is a waste of money And landlines. Mostly home insurance though. Cos it's a scam.

  • Landline for sure .. I just have to have renters insurance, which is very inexpensive.

  • "I suppose I could downgrade the household staff to a degree ... like using a cook, instead of a chef."
