Cutting Costs - Help!

As many of you know, I recently entered the exciting yet frightening world of self-employment, where you enjoy a degree of extra freedom but also grapple with the uncertainty of not knowing how much money you'll bring home any given week.

It's great.

I've always been one to seek the good deals, but it's never been as important as it is now that my family is depending on my fluctuating income. So, my goal is to figure out whatever saving/ stretching money strategies I can. I'm going to tell you about a few of the things I do, and I'd really love to hear your suggestions too!
