1. Neither of us smoke, or even drink very often. We rarely if ever go to a bar and if we do we get soda and not higher priced alcoholic drinks.
2. Yes we have cable but we only get basic - no premium channels. We have gone without it at times and cannot get more than one channel clearly and 2 other channels with snow where we live.
3. We have a prepaid cell phone for emergencies only. We have no long distance on our home phone.
4. We rarely buy soda.(Rarely being once every month or two.) One reason I work from home is so that I can make more of our meals from scratch. We rarely buy any ready to serve meals or foods. We rarely go out to eat even. Twice a month for us to go out to eat is a treat and we usually don't spend more than $30 (which is an expensive meal) for the three of us. Hubby takes a sandwich for lunch at work most days as well.
