what are you doing to save money in this economy

Coupons have become my new best friend! Also, buying things in bulk when they're on sale. Making lots of meals that can be frozen and thawed out throughout the week, to cut down on food costs. Definitely much less eating out, and the eating out we do do is at cheap places. Value menus have become life savers when we just can't eat another dinner of casserole or pasta. And shopping at thrift stores rather than department stores has made a very large difference. Instead of spending 20$ on a new shirt or jacket, we only spend two or three.
