Whats different? Is it the area? I mean I do live in charlotte NC so it isn't the cheapest community around, nor the coolest.
I second the congrats on the food, but you could really save on the cable/phone stuff if you wanted to. Mine is 75 for all cable and phone, and I could cut down if I wanted to. If.

I don't know for sure on why our electric is so high the lowest we ever had the electric in this place is I believe $140. I am thinking why it is so high is my dh's friend has no respect for us and he stays up all night playing video games and sleeps with the light, his computer, and tv on. And he won't listen to me about shuting crap off. I have had long discussions with my dh about getting him out but he feels bad cause this is his "best friend" OH and get this he wants to totally screw us too. I wanted to get back on food stamps to help out abit I know I would only get alittle bit but still enough for a week's worth of groceries which will serously help. but he wants to go in and fill out for cash assistance (remind you he is able bodied to get a job but won't) medical, and food stamps for himself. He is not on our lease cause he was only supposed to be here for a few months then leave NOT OVER A YR. I will not tollerate anyone in this house just MOOCHING off the government without helping themselves. We have never done it nor will we ever. We use it in cases of emergencies and to help us get by the hard months and the summer is hard times for us with all the kids home so our grocery bill goes up another $20 or so. That is not it. If he signs up and they find out that I did not put him on my application I go to jail for 20 yrs and there is a $250,000 fine we have to pay and he don't give a crap. The only thing he told me was "oh well, you signed the papers" UGHHHHHHH Anyway sorry venting there.
