I'm curious as to the specifics of what you cut or changed to reduce the food bill!!!! I shop at ALDI's once or twice/month, wal mart too, in spite of buying generics, not eating much meat etc., I am still looking for ways to cut back on food that don't take too much time! .-= Barb Friedberg´s last blog ..<a href="http://barbarafriedbergpersonalfinance.com/how-i-made-500-00-in-ten-minutes/" rel="nofollow">How I made $500.00 in Ten Minutes</a> =-.

Goes to show when it comes to our money we can never bee too careful. @The Rat - We too continue fighting the food bills... share what you learn! @me in million - It is TV so I'm sure there is lots on the editing room floor. As for the stories, you know they wouldn't show the boring stuff. As for the females, you know they will at some point. As I recall only like 15% of CEO's are women so statistically the male predominance is to be expected. I'd be willing to bet when they do show a female CEO it will be one of the better shows. She will fix the business instead of throwing money at people and their problems. @Ken – Ouch, sorry to hear about the surprise. Goes to show when it comes to our money we can never bee too careful.

I have found that my 'food & entertainment' expenses have been high over the past years and I've been working at reducing this element of my spending to more reasonable levels.
