How I cut back? I shop online for my fur-kids food at Chewy.com. Free delivery over 50.00 and the same price as the store. I buy for the month. It also saves on wear and tear on the car, since the pet food store with all the deals is far away. Always buy in bulk. Sometimes Sal army or Goodwill has good stuff you may need. I go to the Dollar Store for cheap soaps and other cleaning stuff. I SAVE ALMOST 100.00 PAYING CAR INSURANCE EVERY 6 MONTHS INSTEAD OF EVERY MONTH. I insulate every window and door top to bottom when it gets cold. Even the light switches! Food bill is only forty per week because I am single, but two can eat for almost the same amount. I get oatmeal and eggs in bulk for breakfast. Butter is almost never on sale though, as well as the real good breads. I don't buy loaves for over 1.50. Lunch is soup or sandwich. Progresso soup is ok when cans are on sale for 1.00. Buy them in bulk at that price! Grilled cheese sandwiches are a great money saver, also when fruits or veggies are on sale. I never buy when they are not. Also, I took the bus, until my butch bud sold me a great old Toyota cheap. I cut out internet and tv entirely. I do watch old movies on vcr. I buy them at the thrift store for 25 cents. I have free radio, and a Bearcat scanner. I visit this planet from my local library every week. I don't pay rent, because my job is to manage a B&B property. I really lucked out. I do pay for heat and phone. I am currently trying to cut the heat bill by trying to rig up a rocket stove via a pipe out a window

There's a lot more I do to save money, but I can't think of them all right now.
