Hi,
In my area, people spend fortunes on going on to eat. Even people who have no money eat out a lot.
Hubby and I rarely go out because he likes to cook.
But occassionally I remind myself to cut down on convenience food: ready made stuff in the grocery store, take out, . . .

Is it safe to unplug the power strip of the computer when we are not using it?...we watch about 2 hours of tv/vcr/dvd player at night so if we unplugged it for 22 hours a day that has to save some money.

I would keep the powerstrip for the computer and any explensive appliance (TV?) plugged in 24 hours.
But I could start unplugging the old tv, the recharger for the phone . .
I read in the the newspapers here that frozen veggies are BETTER than fresh because they are flash frozen as soon as they are picked. The "fresh" veggies that we buy are not really fresh. They have been sitting around forever.
Sometimes I buy whatever fruit is on sale that week. If is peaches, I buy peaches, . . . for example.

I always turn down the air when I first get up....we like it cool at night, but maybe it doesn't have to be that cool

I do the same thing with the A/C -- keep it cool at night and warmer when we are up or out of the place.
Sleep is crucial.
Do what helps you sleep right.
How about water?
Do you do things to save on your water bill?
Do you try to conserve electric and water when you do laundry?
Hubby seems to go through three outfits a day sometimes.
Most people can save money by eating vegetarian a few nights a week -- make dishes with beans instead of meat or example.
