The reason why I ask, is I'm currently a student (in catered halls) about to move into a house with some friends in the next couple of months. I'm starting to figure out my budget so I can workout where I am and thought it might be an idea to try to sort out a food pattern and practice it in the last month of the uni year.
I don't drink anymore; its too expensive! I could spend upwards of £60 IN A NIGHT. Plus, my health won't allow for it and after a couple of seriously dramatic nights, I've been put off of alcohol completely (though I do still have the odd homemade pina colada). Anyway, I don't drink anymore and my only real expenses (at the moment) is my phone bill, my pool membership and my halls of residence fees (when I move into my own house, my rent, gas, electricity, water and internet is actually cheaper than living in halls!).
Anyway, I worked out i could live on approximately £20-5 a week (I eat five small meals a day, at least one of which is "structured"). Then I add my protein shakes and bars and coconut water and it all comes out to somewhere inbetween £130-50 a month. Is this normal for one person? I've never had to work this out before.
How much do you guys spend a month?
Thank you for all your help!
