I totally agree with NancyG, plus always watch for grocery sales, clothing sales etc., and use coupons when you can. I also find some very good buys at the dollar store (one in particular). There are a couple of stores that I usually don't buy fabric from without a coupon. There are many ways to cut back when you apply yourself to it.
