I have several frugal New Years resolutions....Maybe if I post them for all the world to see, I will be more likely to stick to them

OK, Here it goes.....

I want to cut back on eating out so much. We spend alot of money on eating out at my house. Some of it is necessary due to crazy work schedules. I am going to start taking my lunch more often to work. Pack a healthy lunch and stop eating greasy, expensive, take out! I want to start drinking more water and less soda. This will be a tough one for me. I'm hooked on diet coke. If I can accomplish this, it will save lots of money. We have delicious well water at our house and it is free. The price of soda's keep going up and up.

I would also like to get more organized. I keep buying the same things over and over because I can't find what I already have.

I think I will start having a large portion of my paycheck deposited into my savings account rather than ALL of it into my checking account. I can just as easily do an ATM withdrawal from savings and the money is not so readily available to spend.

Well... that's a good start. Wish me luck! I wish all of you luck with your resolutions. Keep posting about your progress and give tips to help people like me that need motivation.
