Kristie-
At least around here, gas is typically cheaper on Tuesday and Wednesday. They hike up the prices toward the weekends. Buying on Tuesday saves us approx. 10-15 cents/gallon, sometimes more.

HTH

Other things I do is:
I have my aunt give me haircuts. I wait for birthdays/Christmas to get new clothes. I use lower wattage bulbs (saves a little on electricity). I agree w/ Amber, sell stuff!! if you don't need it anyway it's like cash in the attic!!

Unfortunately tightening the belt is HARD. There's no easy way around it. Hopefully you won't have to do it too much.
