Take the family for lunch at Old Spaghetti Factory(cheap!)... 2 adults, 1 kid... $60 after tax and tip no booze...

Drive by a local park and they have a family friendly event... $20 face painting, $14 per beer/glass of wine(x2), $8 bar of cool looking soap your kid wants...

$176 real fast and it's only 2-3 PM at this point...

Yes, we could pack P&J sandwiches for lunch and drink tap water, could have also gone to an outdoor playground instead of the air conditioned indoor one, too.
That does seem like it could add up to be an expensive day. I'm guessing entertainment and eating out will be the first things to go if/when times get tough(er).

Have you been dealing with any businesses for business? Or even individuals? What's the status with that?
