    After 16 years at a community bank, my position was eliminated last year and my family had to cut down on spending fast. I discovered freebies websites, Redbox - the $1 DVD movie rental vending machine (what a novel idea!), coupon websites and I finally had the time to organize and use the coupons I clipped. By the way, I am once again employed full-time and things are looking up but I still use these techniques to save money :)

    I am being mindful of my expenses, but I haven't really changed anything drastic yet.
