And we're back. I now drink instant coffee because I was pouring too much brewed coffee down the drain. I water down all liquid soaps and detergents. I don't eat out hardly at all anymore. Maybe once every 2 months. I've managed to cut down on the amount of sugar I put in my coffee (more for dietary reasons.)

Mostly I've just stopped buying things. I used to go to Goodwill, spend $35 and be pleased that I got 3 skirts, 2 shirts and a sweater. Now I just wear the old clothes I thought I was sick of and am pleased I didn't spend $35 just because I was bored.

I’m also making my own calendar for 2013. But this is more out of laziness than frugality: I don’t want to go to a store and buy one.
