    well my answer was grocery stores because I am already curbed with my spending! ha! I don't buy anything but stuff we need and a few other happy things like a car or pretty dress (for my son and new baby girl)but other than that I don't spend what we don't have.

    I actually cut back on membership fees more than curbing product purchases. I don't think that was on the list. I picked Department store since that is where I shop the least.

    Pay CASH! If you don't honestly need it, don't buy it. Try and buy only necessary things from the grocery store, kids need a few treats, but try and make them from scratch. Don't buy in bulk unless you know you will eat it in a few weeks, even if it's on sale. If you don't need 5/$20.00, only buy 1. Sometimes, what looks like a bargain really is not. Do the math!! Good luck to all, I know we can do it but it will take practice and getting used to doing without.

    we just haven't been spending at all, except for bills; we don't have the extra to spend anywhere, even w/ sales and coupons!
