re: Is anyone else saving hundreds a month during all of this?

Over the weekend I was wondering if less people would eat out after this. I have a pretty unique living situation since we don't have any restaurants or stores here (we do have a food truck open about 5 hours a day for about 4 months where we can get a burger, milkshake, or a few other items). I have to pay an expediter in town to shop and deliver groceries to a local air taxi and then pay them roughly $1 per pound to have things flown out. Even so, I still spend less on meals than I did when I lived and worked in town.

Well, now that I think about it, I won't be paying aftercare to my daughter's school. It's about $200/mo but charged on a per day basis.
She's 13 so it's really more like study hall at school with a chaperone

I've offset any saving due to increased booze consumption.

This shutdown has highlighted how much my wife typically spends. Saving a lot right now.

I've saved $1,000 easy between not going out to eat, bar/drinks, shopping, and gas. Plus, I haven't seen my GF in a couple weeks... that saves A LOT
Posted on 3/25/20 at 4:32 pm to X123F45
I was but then I started buying wine that’s normally out of my price range every night

these fricking kids are eating us broke. I'll never complain about paying their lunch fees ever again. Grocery bill has gone up 100% but there is savings in gas and lunch. I'd say a wash overall...
Posted on 3/25/20 at 4:59 pm to X123F45
Yep, saving minimum $100 a week, plus gas and wear and tear on vehicles
Posted on 3/25/20 at 5:37 pm to X123F45
Yes and thank God as our income has taken a huge hit
Posted on 3/25/20 at 5:41 pm to X123F45
I haven’t worked in 5 weeks. No income from me and we are making it. And yes we live paycheck to paycheck when my wife thinks we have money but I’ve been hiding money in case of a lay-off not something this crazy.

I usually try to stay under 250 bucks a week for gas, food, entertainment, hunting/fishing. I put 150 of that in to savings in addition to my normal savings

My company handed out 20% pay reductions yesterday. Any savings will be offset.

Well since the 2 week trip to Spain got axed, I'm saving a boatload. Thankful I didn't get over there during this. We were to leave 3/18
