Update:
My Wife came home tonight pretty excited about how much money we've saved since starting this thread. She added up what we've spent on 6 different categories on the list I showed you all, and we have shaved expenses by over $600 this month. I've created a monster! She actually is using coupons to buy groceries. We haven't eaten out once except for the one time at the casino where I had $140 in comps available to use from my time playing poker last year. Anyway, I'm sure we will get better at all of this. It's comforting to feel like I'm in control of my finances. I am having trouble deciding whether or not to sell the home and 2 cars to save even more money, but I'm sure it will become evident at some point.
