With us both being students, we've been cutting back on certain things for awhile, before gas hit $4, but here are some of the things we do.

- I take the traction control off my car when I'm driving and the roads are dry, this gets me over 300miles to the tank, usually it's only like 250ish with it.
- My fiance's mom works at a health supply company, and they always have medical "chucks" that they are throwing out..there the exact same thing as pee-pads, I think we've only bought pee pads like 4 times since we've had Bella.
- We cancelled our home phone.
- Don't go out as much anymore, instead we'll invite people over, or just have movie nights with the two of us and Rocky and Bella.
- Limiting trips, such as only buying my redbulls when I go to get gas because their at the gas station, instead of going out just to get redbull.
- I don't get lunch everytime I'm at school all day, instead I'll just bring a bag of chexmix or something to hold me through the day, then I'll eat a bigger meal when I come home. I know it's not the healthiest thing to do, but that's better than getting fast food every day of the week.
- We grocery shop at our parents houses.
