I want to send a big thank you to the nice folks at the Friday 5 who remembered me on my day of surgery. So, here are my responses, a couple of days late:
When money’s a bit tight, how do you cut costs in keeping yourself fed?
We dine out far too much, so if we had to cut $400 off our monthly budget, all we would need to do is eat more meals at home.
When money’s a bit tight, how do you cut costs in keeping yourself entertained?
We would stay in and watch television shows taped on the DVR, take long walks around the neighborhood, or take a hike together.
When money’s a bit tight, how do you cut costs in other areas of your life?
Hubby is a minimalist by nature, but if we had to cut costs in other areas, I would have to reign in my spending at my favorite shops such as Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, the Gap, Sephora, Shirokiya, and the Apple store.
When money’s a bit tight, what do you do to keep your spirits up?
Keep myself distracted, do something active with the Hubs, go online, read a book, or watch TV.
When money’s a bit tight, what are some things you refuse to sacrifice?
My Roadrunner connection, of course. And although this may sound snobbish, I refuse to buy drugstore makeup, mostly because my skin is very sensitive and prone to breakouts.
