Re: What have you done this year that has saved the most money?
kept the A/C off unless it was above 90 (plus, I put in new windows on the northside last fall-helped a ton!), cut by dishnet work down to local channels only-which is $5.99 a month, instead of the $49 a month we were paying, reduced my cell to the $9.99 plan, only use cold water for washing clothes, and I line dry clothes. I also have a garden, and barter out some of my childcare in exchange for piano lessons. I also teach at the community center-a class 1 night a month, in exchange for my family getting free swiming year around and the pools (both indoor and outdoor), and free use of the exercise rooms. I also walk to work at least 2 days a week (5 blocks-but a lot when you consider I drive a SUV)
