Go veggie. If you can do three meatless days a week (without substituting pricey fish), you could save $25 a week, which equals $100 a month, which equals $1,200 a year! Beans: Ya gotta love em.
Never pay full price. If you must shop, for pete's sake, discover the online world of discount Web sites. Ebay is still OK, but half.com and craigslist.org are excellent sources of "lightly used" goods -- everything from books to jewelry to office furniture -- to the entire first season of Star Trek on video.
Seek inspiration. Get thee onto MSN Search and type in "living cheaply," "frugal living" and "voluntary simplicity." Youll find a gazillion Web sites devoted to living on less, including thefrugalshopper.com and simpleliving.net.

my hubby will not eat meatless meals but we do eat a lot of soup (i can get a beef soup bone for about a dollar) during the winter and a lot of chicken (which we get direct from the butcher).
we shop at thrift stores a lot and if we have to shop elsewhere, i try and get stuff on sale. we also visit the library at least once a week for books and movies to save money. there are lots of great ideas out there!

That is a really great idea. The things that we can do, will add up. The more we learn , then the more we will save. It may really pay off with the economy as it is.
