While people can go overboard and spend heaps on making this a serious hobby, it's a great way to actually take in interest in what you are drinking and make some great tasting beer while saving cash at the same time.

I really like your idea about cutting back on soda. About a month ago I decided to stop buying the stuff and just drink water. Magically my food bill was down by $5 or $6 per week.

You need to do the math for soda, since people drink far more of that and it isn't proportionally cheaper. We've actually saved the most money by buying a Brita water cooler and drinking that exclusively during the week - it's a hell of a lot cheaper than soda or beer.
