Grocery shopping wisely – We shop at affordable stores, shop the ads/sales, and menu plan. Dine out on a budget – We used a coupon for 98% of our dining out experiences. We have yet to call in to the Dave Ramsey Show, but we plan on going to his studio to visit and yell, “We’re Debt Free!” I rarely use coupons.
