The uncertainty in the economy has led many of us to consider small ways to trim our expenses. As I thought about my budget, it occurred to me that different Sun signs tend to spend in different ways and on different things.  These are some of my thoughts.

Aries - Since you are an impulse buyer, you might consider making a list and sticking to it before setting foot outside for a shopping trip.

Taurus - Your coin collection or stock portfolio can be stored for better times. Your sweet tooth can be satisfied with Hershey just as well as Godiva.

Gemini - Your cell phone bill is a major expenditure, not to mention the many magazines you buy.  You may wish to cut down or share with a friend.

Cancer - Good quality, fresh food can be purchased at the local co-op rather than a trendy gourmet shop. Rare books are on hold.

Leo - You love to entertain, it does not have to be the equivalent of a White House State dinner to impress your friends (I mean subjects).  Simple can be elegant especially in front of a roaring fire.

Virgo - You really can limit yourself to just a few cats. They really do not need Fancy Feast everyday !  Ammonia and vinegar clean as well as highly advertised cleaning supplies. Exercise by walking, cut down on health clubs.

Libra - A day at the spa is heavenly but it can be at home with your BFF.  Manicure, pedicures and facials feel just as good in your kitchen or bathroom.
Last year's party dress can be updated.

Scorpio - Really sexy lingerie need not come from Paris, Target' can really surprise you.  Some may need to give up their secret hide-away. Some may recycle previously discarded items.

Sagittarius - That trip to Bora-Bora may be put on hold but a travel guide for use in the future is also an escape.  An advanced degree can be earned on-line rather than at Oxford or Cambridge.

Capricorn - Last year's Blackberry still does the job. Your business sense will lead you to make prioritzed lists as to needs and wants, follow it.

Aquarius - Rather than upgrading your roomful of electronic equipment, computers, and other gadgets every year, you may create your own from existing parts.

Pisces - As painful as it may be, many will give up the beach house.  Aromatic candles, perfume, make-up and liquor are staples but must there be sooo many of them?
