I like this article. It's got some good ways to *find* $1000 in your budget before Christmas. It's not new ideas really to any of us who have been at this a long time, but it's worth posting.

It also gave me a reminder that I'm paying too much for my landline. I'm fixing that tomorrow.

Good article, thanks for posting the link. Good reminders even for those who have been frugal for a long time!

I recently adjusted our landline. I don't have the #s in front of me at the moment, but I think I was able to shave about $25/mo. off.

I literally just got off the phone w/ the phone company. I ditched my L.D. on my landline and dropped my local sevice by $7/mo. So my total bill dropped down about $30. Horray. We just upgraded our cells and don't need that overpriced long distance anymore.  Tomorrow I'm looking over our cable bill.

I just cut $22 a month off of our Verizon bill. Woohoo!

Tomorrow I'm going to look at our other bills too.
