Well, you talked about all the big things to take out. But some of the little things that we do is:
1. Don't buy gas on the weekend. And, of course, no unnecessary driving.
2. Eric actually doesn't eat out on the road. He packs food in his suitcase and eats in his hotel room. Eric spends about $20/week. Alot of Ramen noodles and microwave meals. Not the healthiest choice, but we can't afford for him to eat out.
3. Eric doesn't get hotel rooms when he has to stay in his base, he sleeps in the crew room. Not fun, but again, no choice.
4. Watch how many lights you have on in the house and how often you're watering your lawn. You'd be surprised how much money you can save on utility bills.
5. Also, I keep the blinds closed on the sunny side of the house so that I don't need to run the air conditioning as much.

I'll try to think of some more, but you might want to consider a lifestyle change, if necessary. Hopefully you won't have to bite the bullet as much as Eric and I have to.

HTH
