I love the ideas already shared in this thread! In our house, some of the things we go without or skimp on include:
– no cable
– no redbox, or paying for movie streaming (I’m a fan of the library as mentioned above.)
– We rarely go out to eat – once a month if we’re splurging, less otherwise.
– We regularly shop at a local warehouse for our food. It’s scratch and dent/expired goods for pennies on the dollar.
– I haven’t bought new clothing for myself in years. Even the thrift stores are too expensive, lol. I shop at the Goodwill Outlet for clothes. You pay by the pound.
– No home phone line
– No pro haircuts, or pedis, manis…any of that stuff.
