    I've been going out more. You don't know what you'll find some times they give away free stuff or some other great stuff!

    Staying home more. We are saving money but also spending more time together as a family. Maybe a blessing in disguise!!

    I've found more projects to work on around the house.Gas costs to much nowadays to be out and about.

    We stay home way more than we did before. I also cook at home more. We spend more "family time" together.

    I have taken the initiative to find and take advantage of alot of free adventures...museums, parks on certain days, and there are so many places to go that you only pay the admission per car...if you take 2 couples and a picnic it turns into a lot of fun for a little price.
