Trimming expenses while I search - 11 months and counting

I have 11 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as an insurance claims processor. There are 8 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What did you cut first?

Ask your utility about hardship programmes. Mine knocked a bit off my bill for several months.

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