My gasoline bills and food bills have been cut almost in half. I'm driving about half as less and not eating out. That's about it for me.
I would say we’re spending money differently, not spending any less though

Gas is one fill up for the past 8 weeks. Food has dropped. Amazon has doubled.

Grocery charges (instacart in particular) have increased by about 70%.....restaurant charges have collapsed by even more than that.
I also didn't bother with Metra commuter train tickets this month, which saved about $260.
Our Subaru is also getting about 2 weeks to the gallon, and I've opted to attempt a minor repair on it myself instead of letting a mechanic do it. I have an extra 2 hours per day (since I'm not commuting), and basically don't need the car right now.

I get a higher grocery bill, but that means you're not eating out as much.
It's actually much higher for our household. It's amazing how fast kids will decimate a pantry when they're eating three meals at home, 7 days a week. And prices have gone up on a lot of essentials like milk and eggs.

How does Netflix cost more?
I don't know about Netflix, but we've watched Trolls World Tour and The Invisible Man this week on Prime. That's $40 that wouldn't have been spent otherwise. Splurge or not, those TrumpBux are being put to use.

My credit card has a -$550 balance due to prepaid tix that were cancelled due to this...so yes.

Not spending money every week on Amazon like usual but everything else is about the same. Wife and I still working like usual so gas spending is normal.

No, Jaxson’s private hitting coach for travel ball upped his hourly rate due to the quarantine. Had to sell my F150 but that’s the price of making the big leagues.

My weekly grocery bill has doubled but my entertainment bill is almost non-existent sans a round of golf each weekend. I've been saving about a net $100 each week.

My Entergy bill was twice the normal monthly bill. However, I am still on the same tank of gas in the car for 6 weeks now.

My credit card usually runs around 7-8k a month. It was 3k this month

Spending more on groceries and drugs.

No. Bought a condo during all this. Spending more than ever before unfortunately.

I don’t know if I’m spending all that much less but three canceled trips (so far) has definitely helped my pocketbook

With 4 college students, (2 sons and girlfriends) at home for who knows how long, I'm spending much more on groceries. Before this shite it was me and the wife, (no pics). I'm close to telling them to pitch in on food, but hell I was buying that anyway I suppose. Saving on gas and eating out for lunch for me, but I'm not sure overall. Hopefully breaking even.
