As the economy gets crazier by the day, people are making cutbacks anyway they can with their expenses. Some people are dropping landlines or the features that come with landlines. Some people are carpooling or using the mass transit system to save on gas.
Some things that I think Tina and I will look into are:
Brita Faucet so that we will cut back on bottle water
2-liters instead of 12-packs (although 24 and 36 packs are a good deal)
What ideas do you have?

Some ideas on savings the moolah:
Basic:
1. Less eating out, more eating in
2. Working out instead of doing activities that cost money (get healthy AND save cash)
3. Use your local library to get movies, cds, books to keep yourself entertained
4. Clip coupons (always a classic Phillips move) and make sure you use them at the store with double/triple coupon specials
Advanced:
1. Cancel cable & internet (saves $ and forces you to find more meaningful ways to spend your time)
2. Full budget analysis to identify those areas you're spending money that you don't need to (easy if you have a credit card company like Amex who can characterize your spending)
3. Ration your toilet paper (when times get really tough!)
one word: craigslist
I'd buy food off of it if people would sell it.
Have friends / family who are gifted in the art of photography take pictures of your little baby (or set up a photo shoot at home - like the Phillips did!).
And definitely coupons - for everything.
