WHY!!!!

So with the economic times looking so yucky..I have decided to keep a positive attitude and just trimming the man and I's spending..We love to eat we love nice things but clearly we are going to have to learn how to save..I have thought of some new techniques that may help us..

1.) Create a Serious Budget and stick to it..This seems to always be hard but I figure if we are committed it may just work..

2.) We feel up before seeing the tank at 1/4 this way we will spend less in Gas.

3.) We have stopped eating out som much which is already great!! However I think to maintain my grocery shopping spending I am going to make weekly meals and base everything on what is in the fridge!!!

This should make things a bit easier you think!!

My hubby & I went through the same thing! Sticking to a budget is sooo hard. We love to go out & eat, but realized it was eating away at our budget. We do the Envelope System. Here's a link:
