Changes? Not really. Like Trek, we've pretty much been doing the savings things all along. And, like, Geonz, making sure not to forget the people in need.

So, I still don't skimp on food (thank goodnes farmers market season is approaching) as I still believe that eating good food (healthy, not rich) is the most important priority on spending. I'm veggie, so short of giving up my organic produce (no way) or artisan cheeses (OK, maybe) there aren't a lot of savings to be made there.

But DH is now driving my car when I work at home because it gets better gas mileage. And, I now justify driving like a grandma at the speed limit because I can see that it boosts my gas mileage by about 5%.

However, bad timing for us, but perhaps good timing for the contractors, we've got a lot of work to do on the house. So, we're scheduling those tasks now. That means no money goes into savings (sorry Mr Silver the Banker) and, while the costs may be higher right now, I look at it as my little bit to keep the economy going.
