    Good for everyone for cutting back so much. Every little bit helps!
    It's state law that you cannot smoke in restaurants here anymore (unless it's a restaurant where most of the profit comes from the sale of alcohol rather than food). I love not having to sit in the non-smoking section that is usually right next to the smoking section anyway. On vacation this summer I loathed eating in restaurants that still had smoking and non-smoking sections.

    We've cut back, but honestly not too much. DH won't let the cable go for anything (it's his downtime after his very stressful days at work- that and running or cycling). We could get rid of the landline- we only use that to answer phone calls from politicians or people begging for money.

    I want to cut my car usage to almost zero, but with a job 26 miles away, that won't happen until the end of the school year when I can find a job within 10 miles of home. When I find a closer job- the car is going silent.

    I run all errands within 2 miles by bike (and all my errands are almost always within 2 miles).
    Oh yeah, and I only buy clothes at second hand consignment stores or thrift stores, but that has more to do with me trying to live more green than trying to save money.
