Karen去年去了墨西哥,Gina去了阿拉斯加,都很贵,pricey, pricey is spelled p-r-i-c-e-y, 是价钱很贵的意思。

我们家基本上不去外面吃饭。我们自己在家做,能省不少钱……
Lisa说,大家都要面对现实,适应现实,to face reality and adapt to it. 如今谁都没有多少闲钱,there isn't any extra money lying around. Karen马上表示赞同,说她一年来花钱一直特别节省,I've been penny-pinching all year. penny-pinch,意思是一分钱掰成两半花,节省。Gina也说,她们一家现在基本上不出去吃饭to eat out,是出去吃饭的意思,相反的是cook at home自己在家做,能省不少钱。她们三个人还有什么省钱的诀窍呢?
