We are a household of 5 and need to cut costs quickly. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. What did you cut first?

I called the landlord and the card company early. Both offered a short payment plan, which I did not expect.

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $500 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.
