I find that I miss having a broader selection to chose from. I think I would be fine, personally, as I love to wear my jeans. But professionally, I am limited and am beginning to feel like I am on constant replay with chosing the same, limited selections. LOL. So, I have started thrifting once again. Love it! $15 buys me quite a bit - small happiness. :) .-= Money Funk´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.moneyfunk.net/daily-grind/iphone-vs-blackberry-did-i-get-the-wrong-phone/" rel="nofollow">iPhone vs Blackberry: did I get the wrong phone?</a> =-.

She recently quit her job to find an incredible amount of money saved by her not working. Might be a good read as she is in the same boat. Glad to hear you are cooking. :) Have you checked out <a href="http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A Year of Slowcooking</a>? Fabulous and easy recipes. I've tried a few recipes myself. As for myself, I really need to get back into cooking. I just can't seem to get back on schedule since the holidays.

I'm always thinking of ways to cut the budget. The only clothing I've bought this past year was underwear (trust me, I really needed it). We don't have cable, magazine subscriptions, we don't eat out. We've also stopped our weekly trips to the bakery that were costing us 4-6 euros a pop. Now I make our cookies, cakes and bread from scratch. We tried living without the heater too--but my in-laws came to stay and I had to turn it on then! Eventually, you kind of run out of saving options, don't you? But I really liked your idea on looking for the best possible interest rates for savings--I've been completely overlooking a chunk of our savings that is getting no interest at all--it adds up, after all. The only-rewards type thing I do is for frequent flyer miles--but I hardly use my credit card (except to buy the occasional plane ticket). It's something to look into. .-= Trish´s last blog ..Pulling pumpkin soup out of the cupboards: this week’s dark day’s challenge. =-. Oh-Ho! Good topic. I’m always thinking of ways to cut the budget.
