What 'little things' are you doing to save/cutback on wedding expenses
i'm 'trying' to not go to starbucks as much, attempting to bring lunch most days of the week. FH and i started going out to dinner less and i also direct deposit every week to our wedding account because if its in my hand i'll spend it
Ummmm we opened a joint checking account and put away 600 a month each from our paychecks....I also let my pedicure last much longer!
We eat home more... so far, that's it.
i've been brown bagging it to work mostly. i stopped 'emotional shopping' and now just window shop or only buy clothes and shoes when i need it. we also go on cheap dates like walks in the park and street festivals. and that's about it for now.

I stopped clothing shopping (which I love) and we try to stay home as much as possible. Were not taking a week vacation like last year, just a weekend getaway instead
No more eating out at restaurants. If neither of us wants to cook we strictly do take out....no more appetizers (this works two-fold as we don't eat more and we don't spend more). And when I go food shopping I only buy the sales now. Refuse to buy anything full-price. Thinking of getting the sunday newspaper so I can start clipping coupons. Plus I'm looking to get a 2nd job to bring more income in.
I've definately laid back on the shopping - in fact, I'm waiting for Visa to call me to see if I am still alive - also - I don't drive around like I used to - gas is killing me.

i used to get made fun of b/c i clipped coupons....at 28 years old. however it is VERY time consuming and sometimes makes you buy more or different things than you thought you would b/c you feel it's cheap. But all in all, it's worth it haha
