Trimming expenses while I search

We are a household of 5 and need to cut costs quickly. There are 5 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 6 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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