Do these challenging economic times have you looking for ways to spend less?

Some are saying it is not the big things we will miss the most, but the little things.

It is the little things that are taking the hit, with people looking for ways to cut back during a time of sky-rocketing gas prices, like by not eating out.

People are also cutting back on expenses by using less gas. They are simply not driving their cars as much.

Would you give up bottled water for tap water? How about cutting back on your fast food? Will there be more lunches coming from home?

Renting a movie is cheaper than paying nearly ten bucks a person at the theater, but does that mean the big blockbusters will feel the pinch?

And high-priced coffee may have to give way to brewing your own.

Target says sales are down, and some are saying the crowd may be searching for cheaper prices at Wal-Mart.

Sales are expected to be slower for the big screen high-tech television sets after a record breaking year; it’s a luxury that may take a back seat to financial reality.

Do you or your family have creative ways that you are trying to save money?
