-bring my lunch every day to work (I bring all leftovers from dinners I cook 3-4 times/week... along with a salad)
-keep snacks (low fat popcorn, etc) in my desk drawer (not tempted to go to the snack machine)
-use the chicken bones and make my own chicken/vegetable/noodle soup (yum)
-my wife reuses plastic sandwich bags (drives me nuts but it DOES save)
-grocery shop only once a week and plan our meals (lunch and dinner ) for the week before we go
-we have stopped eating out (except an occassional sushi outing) except when we go out with friends.. (and even then we tend to go over to each others homes these days)
-STOPPED traveling for a while!!
-turn lights out whenever we leave a room (I have a harder time with this than my wife does)
-shorter showers
-laundry only once a week (larger loads- saves water, energy, electricity, etc)
-Netflix!!!
-wash my own car
-shop at places like North Park Produce... (omg, LOVE that place... can buy 5 bags of fruits, veggies, meats, and fish for less than $30)
-buy our firewood by the cord
-plan my driving distances... (my clients are all over the county)
-buy gas on days that this http://www.fueltracker.com/ website says it is a "buy" day
