- Banking. I have taken the time to look at our accounts and there are lots of charges and fees for things that can be reduced. I have an appointment with them to talk about changing some of these things
- Credit card - simple - pay it off each month. It is a matter of knowing when it is and doing it, not leaving it at the maximum and paying it to buy something else.
- Coffee - learning to love nescafe and tea - from home.
- Stopping daily delivery of the newspaper.
- Saving energy and water - we are watching and limiting our lights and wasting resources
- Never, never, never buy pay full price
- trying to shop at Aldi - but struggling getting my food thrown at me
- I worked today and I took my lunch. Not only was it much nicer, but I saved about $10 from the awful sandwich shop there.
- Taking the time to watch what we do spend our money on and assess whether we need to make each purchase
- We have a saving goal in mind - competition works best for the big squirrel. Once I can get him on board we have a chance of saving.
- Our vegie patch - the idea is to be a little sustainable, however we have had one dwarf carrot from the winter crop. It is growing but slowly.
- Watching wasting petrol just 'driving' and buying petrol on Tuesdays - with dockets

So, my Make Do Mend mentality - what am I doing. Some of the things are simple and some of them I simply should have been doing anyway.
