Make meals most of the time; I keep an eye out for grocery sales & buy if it's something I will use. I do buy certain things in bulk; I will buy out of the meat reduced bin if it's something I will eat.
I have cable but that's my primary form of entertainment. I have a wii for exercise/fun.
I take public transportation 5 days a week. I start shopping for clothes at thrift shops. Keep coupons for clothes at name stores.
