Making savings last after losing my job - 13 weeks in

We are a household of 14 and need to cut costs quickly. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. What helped the most?

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

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