How are families coping? In my friend group:

- Homeschooling at-home parents take on a side hustle (teach piano lessons, mobile notary, dog sitting)

- Buy a side of beef

- Buy beans in bulk (25# boxes)

- Grow a small garden for salad greens and herbs

- Don’t eat out

- No extracurriculars that cost money

- Use the library whenever possible

- Vacations are now camping with 2nd hand gear

- In general, buy used. As a result, prices in 2nd hand market are also inflated.
