Will you share your ideas you get--I would love to hear them as we are in the same boat!

Entertainment--go on a picnic--either at a local park or in your living room. Watch a movie you own--or we should trade out movies, we have quite a few to share :-).

I will try and come up with some more and share them with you--hey Allison is the queen of finding inexpensive things to do!

What are some of your tricks to save on food and clothes? Clip coupons in the Sun. paper. Only buy what you need. If you can wait until a sale AND use the coupon awesome....Re: clothes shop at Plaza Thrift Store in McKinney. Seriously, I bought Jason a Polo shirt for $4. He won't even let me buy $7 at Walmart now that we've discovered Thrifting...I've become quite the little bargain hunter too...

How do you generate a little extra income? EBAY...........

How do you entertain on a budget? Use coupon's for entertainment things. Go on a picnic that's cheap.

What are some ideas for an inexpensive night out? Have friends babysit for you.

Coupons are the KEY. I clip coupons out of every Sunday paper....I buy a passbook each year...I spend $20 on the passbook, but I have probably saved hundreds and hundreds of dollars at the grocery store, restaurants, oil changes, etc. Also, I am a thrift shopper too.....I love purses, but I refuse to pay full price for a "new" purse.......the purse I am currently using was $2. Coupons rock. You might want to check with Allison at church, she is always finding lots of cheap or very low cost fun things to do with the kids/family.
