We have cut back on going out to eat.. We have not bought eachother b-day, holiday gifts since we got engaged.. we use coupons...we try not to buy things that we do not need.
I do still get manicures once in a while (1-2x a month) but have been doing my own pedis. It's my splurge.. that and jones beach this summer.. couldn't give up the beach.

DH and I are trying to cut back on eating out and are focused on paying our bills off. We also run our dishwasher and washing machine/dryer only after 11 PM and combined our cell phones into one plan., etc. The economy is definitely a concern for us. We're also worried that we're going to be hit with higher taxes (the marriage tax thing) next year 
Why after 11????
It's cheaper to run electricity-powered machines like the dishwasher, etc late at night than during the day  I did it in my co-op when I was single and it helped my LIPA bill.
eta: We also got an energy-star fridge...uses a lot less electricity than the old one!!! Believe it or not the fridge can really make your LIPA bill add up

I have been trying my best . We use coupons and we really don't go out to eat as much. I am more conscious with my purchases (especially clothes). Yesterday I did my own eyebrows and manicure. Dh is in accounting so he is going to start laying down the law j/k

not so much, but that's only because I have never been extravagant and neither has DH. We always clipped coupons, only bought what we need, store-brand, etc.
