Default Re: What could you do to be more frugal?

Shoe shopping. My biggest weakness. I have shoe stores call me when they get new styles in. I have it bad. But so far this year I've not bought a single pair. Thats great for me.

Eating out. Last year I spent over 1500.00 eating out at fast food resturants and going out to resturants with friends. And I didn't really like the food or trust the food preparers so I've given this up for the most part this year. I do have a dinner date tonight, but this is the first this year.

Movies was a big expense last year. Went along with eating out. My friends and I would meet for a movie and then go out to eat. Movies are 7.50 a pop and we might start at 5pm and see another one the same night then go eat. Now we've found a dollar movie that has the latest movies, 3 weeks after release. So I can cut substantially by going to the dollar show and coming home.
