A few obvious things you can do are cooking meals from scratch with inexpensive ingredients (i.e.: NOT all that "organic" high-priced stuff), curtailing things like extra minutes on your phone plans/long distance bills, cutting your cable TV down to minimums or off, redoing your health/dental insurance with a less expensive plan, cutting your lawn watering back to minimums (depending on your region's climate), selling your new car and buying a good used car that you can afford outright, garage sales/ebay for that old junk you don't need any more, find some of those work-from-home jobs that'll make you a few bucks, etc.

Lots of ways to do it, some of those above I'm sure you're already doing.
What he said. If you can't leave the house to make money, then you'll either have to either produce and sell goods from home or reduce expenses. If you can get out for one night a week, there are reps for companies that hold "shopping parties," like the Party Lite candles or Pampered Chef cookware. Usually you choose when you work, and you only make money when you work since it's nearly all commission-based. Something like this is perfect for stay-at-home moms, especially if they've got a decent social network of friends to help host these parties. There are also entire businesses of people who make goods at home just to sell on eBay.. so if you have an arts & crafts talent, you can try that.

The easiest way to raise an extra $60/mo without leaving the house is to cut out some expenses. Some people in tight situations blow a ton of money on alcohol and cigarettes. It always costs more to eat out, even fast food, than to make an inexpensive meal at home. Consolidate driving to performing all errands in one trip on the way home from work to save gas. Downgrade the car to a less expensive model with better gas mileage and lower insurance rates. Don't buy anything that isn't needed...
