Deer and Turkey were recently added to the list as well.

Hey Moto, long time no see brother.

Lots of valid points made, although we have made cuts here at home I find myself spending more in other ways. Church tithings are larger than what we usually do and I’m tipping people like crazy. We still grab pizza but I’ve been traveling every other week so eating out gets old and want home cooked meals when I’m home.

This “shutdown” last to much longer than initial projections then I am going to be blowing and going and making it rain.. If I’m going belly up then I’m going to have a heck of a time doing it... might as well..

I had the budget tightened for several months already. Been saving for a truck. The wife works from home, I'm still working. So it's basically been business as usual.

I enjoy a good challenge and like to see if I can spend less money than the month prior.
It’s a fun game. My daughters are the random variable (Ex: yesterday they requested sweet tea-I suggested they put some tea bags in a pitcher of water and set it outside then add sugar/syrup—-they laughed at me and said I was crazy and to just pick up some Red Diamond)

Stand firm man!
They want red diamond, suit up and stand in line!

Eating out and no sporting events to gamble on has been about our only cutback. I have been donating my gambling budget to the kids to help them out during these tough times.

Only in a ventilated room.

Yes, adequate ventilation is mandatory.

Very little change for us, except for eating out. For just over 3 weeks I have fixed all our meals at home. No pickup or curbside. That may change soon if I want to take a cook's day off. If so I'll be supporting local Mom and Pop places - no chains.

Since we're not going anywhere except a weekly visit to Kroger, my SUV is getting about 3 miles/week on gas usage.

Working from home the past 2 weeks has cut the fuel bill to almost nothing. It's 120 mile round trip. I usually fill up every 3 days. All but 1 meal in the past 3 weeks has been at home. We picked up some Mexican food curbside 2 weeks ago.

we have, my wife's job is listed as essential, and she has the best numbers of all the company's labs, but you never know if she could lose her job so we have cut back a bunch.

If this lasts much longer I expect to have my compensation impacted. I've got a healthy emergency fund, but I'd prefer not to dig into it. So we've been tightening up for the last week or so. Plan to say that course until we see some light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully yesterday was the first data point for that. New cases were down significantly from the prior day. Could have just been the fact it was Sunday, but I'm hopefully all these measures we've been taking as a country are starting to pay off.

Ain't spending on any non-essential at the current time...notta!

Trump and his light at the end of the tunnel needs to start being truthful. You cannot analyze statistics on slowing this virus until we see some flattening of the curve. Fauci wanted to expand on reporter's question yesterday, but Trump shut him down. Maybe Trump is a highly regarded Dr of national infectious disease, too, or an idiot. We're fixing to see a death toll in the next two weeks that will scare the helloutta most sensible Americans. We are the epicenter!
