Great Question!

We have given up fast food and eating out unless we have a gift card.
We borrow alot of movies from the library instead of buying.
We don't go to the car wash anymore, we just wash them ourselves.
Clean our own carpets with a machine we purchased (Bissell, it works great!)
Use up everything in the fridge/pantry.
Bought the kids less clothes this year.

we have given up-
Satellite TV (rabbit ears only)
netflix-free movies at library
eating out-only once in a while
no cell phone for me(tracphone for emergencies)
We don't really have any debt except our mortagage but this allows me to be at home with ds.
