"We are saving a ton on gas--even when we could combine class times, etc. we were driving all but maybe two days per week (I hate it!!!).\n \n\n\n\tWe saved a ton by missing vacation. We did travel but changed our plans last minute to visiting my parents vs. going to DC (which didn't have cases when we nixed our plans). Gas was the same, food was less, and we spend any of the money on attractions or metro, etc. We lost a small amount of money on reservations, but not nearly what it would've cost to do things, eat out, and buy stuff.\n \n\n\n\tWe had a weekend family camp cancelled that was refunded.\n \n\n\n\tI am not going to be going to homeschool convention and spending money, though most of that will be deferred--I would've had to pay for meals/snacks out and parking even if I just went for the free exhibit hall.\n \n\n\n\tI did buy more disposable products for cleaning in case one of us gets sick (I use very few disposable items in daily life).\n \n\n\n\tWe are getting less takeout from running around, but our takeout food was usually supplemental vs. whole meals (a bagel, taco, or coffee here and there). \n \n\n\n\tWe went from maxing out the 401k to contributing a much smaller amount (with the amount of time we've been maxing it out, it will still be a pretty decent contribution). We hope to add that amount to a bigger emergency fund, and over time, if it's not used, maybe we'll put in an IRA some year when things start to recover a bit.\n "
