Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first?

We are a household of 4 and need to cut costs quickly. There are 4 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. What helped the most?

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

A simple budget with three columns, fixed, flexible and optional, made decisions faster.
