We've been better on our spending. I haven't bought any clothes, we're done on furniture and junk for the dog. But we have an obvoius weak spot.
I'm just going to say it. We eat out way, way, way too much. It's an incredibly expensive (and enjoyable!) hobby.
These are our credit card charges in the last 1.5 weeks:
$42 forever stamps
$130 power bill
$61 bar tab
$17 toilet paper & paper towels
$62 groceries
$45 shoes (his)
$76 sushi dinner
$15 book
$52 cajun dinner
$22 thai lunch
$19 underwear, 3 pair
$70 sunglasses (mine, stepped on old ones)
$40 haircut (his)
$26 hostess gift
$116 tapas dinner
$42 bar tab
$45 video game
$12 car wash
This snapshot of spending shows that we're not that bad except for the glaring eating out or food and bar expenses. Well over $300 in the last 1.5 weeks. Some of these were "gifts" to spend time with friends. Some were just expensive--I have a bad sushi habit. Without all the eating out, we really spent very little in the last 1.5 weeks.

And you live where it's cheap to eat out! Imagine what your bill would be like in a more expensive city? Probably explains why we eat out less and less now.
If you want to decrease the eating out, do it gradually... it's so hard quitting something we enjoy cold turkey!!
