Bought a clothesline in the summer and dried everything on it.

Also in the summer did most cooking in crockpots to avoid using 220 stove.

Finally talked hubs into ditching cable! Bill was getting close to 200 a month for the triple play with only 1 teevee that we pretty much quit watching the last couple of years.

The only time we watched was a bit of local news to keep up with wildfires. Why pay for something you can get for free?

Got a digital teevee antenna that brings in several dozen channels and bought the amazon fire stick. We already had amazon prime.

Also got rid of landline through cable provider and bought a magic jack.

Paying just under 80 a month now for just internet. Phone is 35 a year.

Also, we rarely eat out. I make almost everything from scratch. Anything we buy for the house or clothing usually comes from the thrift store.

We’re also big time homebodies so lots of money saved by staying home instead of traveling and whatnot.

I've been binge watching "Justified" on Amazon Prime.

For that use GroupOn and buy ONLY when they have their 20% discount on the deals which is frequent. In addition to restaurants, sometimes you can get grocery deals. For me it is Gino's Italian grocery in Hollywood, FL. For about $23 (after the discount) I get $40 worth of groceries. Even wine if I want.
