Finally stopped driving back to ATL for my haircuts/color/etc. I will save an average of $150+ a month right off the bat and the girl up here in the hills used to work at a better place in ATL than I went to

Started cooking/baking more at home.

Don't drive as much - started doing that when we were literally out of gas for 2 weeks up here and I realized I was doing WAY too much driving.

IMITREX FINALLY HAS A GENERIC - that will save another $75+ a month.

I have a car lease that's up in May and I'm going to let it go and just drive the paid for car until I can't stand not having all the bells and whistles ;) That will save over $650 in car payments and insurance. Plus if I decide to buy another bells and whistles car I can get a new one for damn near the same price.

I got cable instead of DirecTV just because Direct couldn't pick up their HDTV satellite from my house. Bundled with the phone/LD/etc. I'm saving over $100 a month AND getting a better picture AND being able to dial LD on my landline instead of having constant dropped calls on the cell. There are some channels missing but I'm dealing.....

I've saved money cutting down on traveling but that's because of being tied to a brick and mortar business, not by choice. I am planning a skiing trip in a few months and hopefully a trip to Italy but that's still a shitload less than I was traveling.

I'm making a whole lot less money in the brick and mortar biz so I'm saving a fortune in taxes ;)

I think that's about it!
