Survey...$$$ Saved ???

I'm saving a fortune by having quit my Diet Coke habit! I was drinking at least 4 cans a day. And the pack-of-Oreos-in-one-day habit is gone too. That got a bit spendy. We eat out a lot, even now, but now I just share what dh is having, and that saves a bundle right there. I haven't yet figured out the grocery shopping thing well enough to avoid having to throw away vasts amounts of food. I buy light yogurt but end up having to throw a lot away because it expires before I can get to it. Ditto the fresh veggies. I can only eat HALF of a squash and that means no other veggies at that meal. I have tried to adjust down with my buying but I'm still not quite there. What I AM spending money on now, is fitness-related gear. Today I finally got my belated b'day present of a new bike, helmet, and seat pad. I also got some dumbells and a backyard badminton/volleyball set. Being lighter means being so much more active. I am NOT complaining. Hugs, Susan
