Financial Crisis belt tightening tips

1) less cigar purchases
2) less eating out for lunch @ work
3) cut the cable and internet bill .. from $120/mo to $60/mo
4) switched to vonage phone
5) I have no debt, other than mortgage, so making extra payments on my mortgage has saved interest.
6) cut my air conditioning, put a couple fans in windows instead. i just received a $250 credit from the electric company when they read my meter, because they estimated my usage to high
7) netflix is on my list to cut
8) i've been cooking meals myself to cut down on going out to eat for dinner.
