The recession has had many of us pinching our pennies. A dollar has to stretch farther than ever before. With so many watching their budgets, we were curious to hear if you were making any changes to your activities?
Are you staying in more? Are you doing more home entertaining? Please tell us what you think. We want to know!

I am an avid reader. Instead of buying books I'm now going to the library. I'm also entering blog contests for books that I really want to own.
my family and i find our self stay home or going to places like the park and river so we don't send money and when we do eat out its $1 menu and .49 cent drink form QT. just have to know where to go and how to watch your money.
We stay home much more than last year. We eat more at home and we also "play" more at home. Lots of movies and games.
I definitely stay home, and do free in house activities since i simply can't afford to go out....
Hiking and reading books from library.
Not eating out as much and hitting the garage sales
We just don't eat out as much.
Not much of a change. We've always made an effort to save money where we can.
The economy has forced me to do some things differently. I finally got off my butt and started my own at home business. It was hard to find one that fit me, there are so many scammmmms out there, but I think I found one that suits me.
Nothing has really changed for me, I have always tried to watch what I spend.
