Have you Trimmed your Budget?

Due to the economy, many people have had to trim their budgets. Have you done any trimming? I bet most of you have. Here’s an article about trimming some items in your budget.

Here’s another good article about budgeting and money dilemmas.

Here are some of the things that I have lowered recently:

1. For some reason, when I bought a new car, full coverage cost WAY less than just liability for my super old car. I just increased my comprehensive deductible to $1,000, and this trimmed another $40 off every 6 months. Now my bill is only around $350 for 6 months for a new car (with full coverage).

2. I cut my cable by a tad. I eliminated HBO and Showtime, which saved me an extra $20 a month. I sure do miss True Blood and all of my other favorite shows though.

3. I also switched around my cell phone plan and found a 17% off discount through the BF’s job, which saves around $20 a month.

Your turn: What have you done recently to save money?
