without a budget in place we had a lot of mindless or impulsive buying

 

By actually making a budget we curtailed a lot of "stupid" spending. I don't see it as cutting back on specific splurge-worthy items so much as just smartening up

 

I'm currently trying to make the push to reduce our cable package, dh loves tv though so I don't think I'll make much headway there haha

Going out to eat NONSTOP every week. I don't miss the food, I just miss always having a clean kitchen!

Vacations.

 

We haven't even gone away for an extended weekend for several years.

 

We're trying to get back to that.

Fast food or eating out, but that's not good for us anyways!
