Default Luxuries One Could Cut From a Budget

Another thread inspired this topic. If you are laid off, or facing a cut to your salary what are some luxuries that should/could be cut from your budget.

Here's a few I thought of:

caller id/call waiting
cable
lawn fertilizer
napkins, paper towels
car washes

Of course, there are many more. What ideas do you have?
