I pretty much only do basics too. Light DSL, basic cable, small cell phone package, only need to fill up the van every 4th month (usually)..

I have been buying a lot of clothes these last 6 month because of loosing weight but I found a great used clothing store where nothing is usually over $2 and they have good brands in there. I will need to make a run and get some small winter stuff SOON! I prefer used jeans since that are already preshrunk when I get them and get no surprises when I wash them.

I DO stash as much as I can in savings as I can and spend as little as I can. Been doing that ever since I paid my house off.
