Question

How are you cutting costs to make up for rising food and fuel prices?

Answer 1

Eliminating "frivolous" trips downtown for jaunts to the bars or to the coffee shops. Eating out less. Spending less, in general.

I've considered buying a scooter for local travel and possibly trips to work. The bus times don't always jive with an early or late work schedule.

Answer 2

staying at home and cooking cheaper meals.

Answer 3

I'm taking vitamins so that I don't have to rely on my diet to provide all the nutrients my body needs, and I can reduce my food intake.  Truth be known I could stand to lose a few pounds.

I've bought rain gear and cold weather gear so I can increase the percentage of days that I can ride my motorbike to work.

I've quit working out and running to reduce my respiration rate and the amount of CO2 I exhale to reduce my carbon footprint.  I feel greener.

Answer 4

No im not cutting on food and fuel costs if you buy the things that are cheap i feel that you are missing out things that your body needs.

Answer 5

I'm not.  Plan to increase my usage over time.

Answer 6

Starvation.  I wish I were kidding.

Answer 7

I'm parking my car on Friday and not using it again until Monday, which means I'm doing a whole lot of walking on weekends.  When I go shopping, I stock up on non-perishable items so that I don't have to make future runs to the store

Answer 8

Cutting food and fuel.  I have no choice.
