I was going to suggest Mystery Shopping too. You work as an independent contractor and pick what jobs you do. There are a lot of them that don't require a purchase, so you aren't out any money while you wait for them to pay you.
Good places to research shops and get free info are:

I'm trying to cut down expenses this summer too. I'm not sure if I have $300 that I can cut out though! So far this month I've canceled my $15 DVDBarn membership (like Netflix) and I'm canceling a weird $15 charge on my internet provider's bill. I stocked up on $1.49 steak and chicken at the beginning of the month when the holiday sales were happening. Hopefully that will help keep my grocery bills down for a bit. We don't eat out much (except for mystery shops) so nothing to cut there! What are you guys cutting out of your budgets?
