Budget after a layoff: what did you cut first? (Louisville)

I have 8 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a quality inspector. I am in Louisville, in case local advice matters. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What helped the most?

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $900 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

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