On the dining - I do have the low-maintenance raised bed garden (e.g. plant and forget), which includes potatoes and onions, two staples in my home. I shop at the local Wal-mart and Kroger for groceries, buying gift cards at discount on eBay (which also can be used for gas at both). When I dine out, I use the iDine program, a rewards credit card, and will use coupons from the Entertainment book (or local publications) at the same time.
