Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first? - any advice?

We are a household of 12 and need to cut costs quickly. There are 12 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What did you cut first?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
