1. Haircuts for the kids are only done "professionally" about once a year. The other times I trim them up myself. And I must say that after 8 or so years of giving the boys a trim I think I have gotten decent at it. LOL! J & I on the other hand still go about once a month or so to see our hair people.
2. Cooking from scratch is another way we try to save. I not only believe that it saves us money but it is also healthier for us too.
3. We cancelled our home phone service. I think it has been about 3 years since we had home phone service. With both of us having a cell phone and having a 3rd as a back up for the kids or a sitter we just weren't using the land line enough to make it worth the cost.
4. We also cancelled our DirecTV service about 1 year ago. I personally don't miss it. With programs like Hulu Plus, Netflix & Vudu being built into our Blu-ray player i don't really see a need for cable. And if we wanted to get real ambitious we could get an antenna for the TV and pick up local stations.
