SPENDING LESS...What are you doing to cut back on expenses now that everything costs so much...?

Well, the trouble I have with cutting back is that we ALREADY did a whole lot of the things people are recommended to do to cut costs. The heat in the house is set at 62 all winter, day and night. We combine trips—I rarely do an errand singly—when I go to the bank, I hit the seconds grocery and the country store on the same trip, walk or bike to do errands when we can (we aren’t pikers on the bikes, either—10 miles is a piece of cake, don’t air condition in the summer. I go further than lots of people—there are several “seconds” grocery stores in the area; I know them all and shop at them first. I THEN go to the local country store or farmer’s market for produce, and when the season starts, the farm stands. I buy VERY little at normal grocery stores, and the savings is substantial. I buy in bulk when it's cheap, especially for long-storage items or freezable items. We give up things when the price goes too high. When milk hit 2.80 a gallon, I started to buy it less. It’s not close to $4, and I just don’t buy it. I keep powdered milk on hand—the seconds groceries have it at good prices frequently. I avoid processed foods as much as I can, in general. I buy in bulk, and we “eat from the edges” of the store as much as possible. I bake all our bread—substantially lower cost, MUCH better bread. My kids now object to what they call that “poofy white stuff.” I buy most of my clothes at thrift stores. I make extensive use of the public library system and my mother-in-law’s paperback exchange store. I buy second-hand whenever it makes sense. But I’ve done all these things for YEARS now! I’m at a loss as to what more I should or could be doing! We go out less. We never DID go out much, but we go less frequently now.
