Just To Save A Buck Or Two

I've been thinking about different ways to cut costs and save money since I'm not working.  That's not something on Jason's mind since he likes to water the yard every day and asks me how much HD TV channels would cost.  While he's wanting HD, I'm wondering what channels we can rid of to save some cash. 

Diapers and wipes aren't cheap, but fortunately I'm not having to buy formula too.  We are saving a lot of money by me continuing to breast feed Elise, but at the end of this month she will start some foods.  I have been reading online about making your own baby food, and I'm thinking about giving it a try.  I'm only going to make the fruits and some veggies.  I'll buy the meats and anything that wouldn't be easy enough for me to make and freeze.  What I've read says to prepare it and freeze it in ice cube trays.  Then the cubes can be stored in ziploc bags.  I thought it might be a way to save money, and since I'm home all day I will have the time to do it.

I also found some online coupon websites and plan on getting the Sunday paper to clip coupons from there too.  I make a weekly menu of dinners and lunches, and then buy only the things on my list.  We try very hard not to deviate from what's on the list, but once in while we'll splurge on some cookies or ice cream.  We have cut back on eating out or going out.  Since there isn't extra cash laying around, we've resulted to having to find other ways to entertain ourselves.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm open.  However, I don't want to go Amish and I'm not doing cloth diapers!
