DH and I have been cutting back for a few years. We don't have cable, the TV is on maybe one or two times a week for an hour or two. We keep our house temps down in the winter and up in the summer. We eat out 1x a week and that is usually a cheap place like Tokoyo Joes which costs about $16.00 total. The last time we spent more then that was about 1 month ago. We don't drink alcohol or go to movies. We also do not get a paper, just check the news online. I am still looking for more ways to cut back.
