In this house, we’ve canceled the holidays. All clothing purchases are happening at Goodwill. My once-a-week shopping at Walmart has dropped down to once-a-month. Typically, I spent $200 a week there, now we’ve gotten that down to less than $200 a month.

No more eating out or fast food. Every extra dime is going to our debt.

Me too — paying down and not buying anything new. I just spent $125 at Sam’s on groceries. I expect to make that last almost 3 weeks and I fed my husband and an employee lunch at home instead of taking them for fast food. No Christmas at all this year.

I admire your willpower! Teenager would think he was being starved.
