There wasn’t a restaurant on every corner and people didn’t eat out much. Out of season produce, if available at all, was super expensive. People read newspapers, magazines and books for entertainment. Most people were thin. Most food at the grocery store came from the USA. My radio was AM only.

Look at cutting back on little luxuries such as eating out at lunch each day or in the evenings. Also cut out any unnecessary expenditure, such as subscriptions and memberships that may no longer be of much use to you. A while back I cancelled my magazine subscriptions.

I've been lazy in the past and just planned for the work week and ignored the fact that we do need to eat on the weekends. We usually eat out one night, but if I don't plan the other six days, then it becomes more than one night out and we end up over budget in that category. Create a recipe binder.

I use them regularly when we eat out at restaurants, and I will not shop at a department store without one, but grocery coupons are completely different for me. I don’t find too many coupons for foods that we eat and I only save about $3-5 in paper coupons on each weekly shopping trip, which is hardly extreme.
