OT - What wouldn't you give up?

With the cost of almost everything going up, a recent discussion
thread on Amazon.com asked the above question. I am curious enough to
ask that question here. Also, in what ways are you trying to save
money?

As for me, my two "must have" items are milk and quality cat food.

I already save money on gas since my previous car used higher octane
that Blue Satyr does.

I use my well water for some things, but buy drinking water. Instead
of spending over a dollar for a quart of fancy bottled water, I spend
25 cents per gallon from the Glacier machine outside the grocery
store. I buy Sunny Delight juice, and the containers are recycled
just for this purpose. Right now I have around 40 gallons I use on a
rotating basis.

All my bills are paid online, so I rarely have to buy stamps.

I love iced coffee, but refused to spend all that money for a
Starbucks. I make hot coffee at home and put a larger container of it
in the refrigerator to chill. One hot days like we're having now,
there's nothing so cooling as delicious iced coffee.

Any of you willing to answer either of the two questions above? You
might give the rest of us some good ideas.
