I spend a lot less in eating out. Also dropped organic food from the grocery shopping list.

I also try to spend less on whims.

i do the same thing. i still spend more for cage-free eggs, but that's my only "splurge" in that area -- nm - kare Nov 19, 11:28 1
- I actually do that too, since it's not that much more $ for what you get. - celedhrymandias Nov 19, 11:33
I'm also more selective in the overall grocery shopping. I go to 3 different markets since they have better prices in different things - celedhrymandias Nov 19, 11:23 4
- that's one thing I hate about not having a car in the city. - znufrii Nov 19, 11:24 3
  - Do you really save that much from shopping at three markets? When you factor in gas + extra time spent? -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 11:29 2
    - All of them are in urban NYC, and not terribly far from a subway. - celedhrymandias Nov 19, 11:36 1
      - fortunately, the one nearest me has an incredible beer selection, but isn't the best for more mundane shopping items - znufrii Nov 19, 11:42
