So, we decided to get serious about being frugal, and I figured it was time for an update.
Through meal planning and coupon cutting, I have cut our food bills by more than 25%.
We took advantage of the low interest rates to refinance the house, cutting our mortage by more than 15%
We kept our car, and didn't get the 2nd one
And big big sacrifice -- the dog goes to daycare only one day a week
Where we haven't done so well: we booked two vacations for the year, still eat out too much, added a Netflix account, added HBO on Demand.
the next six months are about building savings and reducing debt. I'll post an update in September and we will see how we did.
Sounds like you're doing well.
