"We are definitely up.  The kids and I have always been home all day, so electric and food consumption are the same.  Our food budget is a large portion of our spending, but now it's even higher because I am having to shop at different stores and buy different brands, which costs a bit more per item.  We didn't have a reserve of food, so I've been trying to stock essentials when I can find them. Gas usage is down slightly because I'm not going out as frequently, but when I do go out, I have to drive all around God's green Earth to find things like toilet paper. Dance is happening online, so we're not saving money there. We usually don't have anything to budget for entertainment outside of Netflix, but we've squeezed two movies in on Amazon. Honestly, if my husband were deemed \"nonessential\" by the Powers That Be, we would be in a bad spot for the foreseeable future...like a lot of other Americans are. \n "
