I guess I'll have to stop eating so much!! LOL. Seriously though, on that note, I just gave up drinking soda - so that will cut quite a bit from my budget. Now I just drink coffee, water, and the occasional juice/soy milk. The rest, though..Just the usuals. Buy generic brands, buy only the fruits & vegs that are in season, and shop with coupons!!

thats a good idea, I'll may have to do the same, I may also have to substitute some of the items I generally buy.

I have a flat in the city but I also have a house in the countryside when I regularly plant nearly all kinds of vegetables-tomatoes, papers, onion and especially potatoes.
