Shop only once every two weeks instead of every week. (20 mile round trip)

Washing clothes by hand instead of going to the laundromat once a week. I go once every two weeks now. (20 mile round trip)

Consolidating trips with housemates. For example, we have to take our trash and recycles down to town (no trash or recycle pick up here). So we pile it all in one truck and take it down, instead of everyone taking their own down. (20 mile round trip)

Not buying as much groceries. Prices for groceries are going up with the cost of gas.

Not going out to eat or movies at all.

Cut down on visiting my sister from once a week to once every two to three weeks (60 mile round trip)

Spending more on car maintenance, to keep my 22 year old bronco II running. Can't afford car payments like I used to.
