Due to a change in circumstances our joint income is changing. My sums tell me that after all bills which I pay monthly come out, petrol is accounted for and £100 per month put away for contingencies, we will have £6-700 for food, clothes and entertainment.
We are a family of 4. We waste alot of food so don't know what the average spend is and what is comfortably do able.
Obs holidays etc will be curtailed for a while but it is the day to day stuff am concerned about. Does it seem a decent amount to live off? Albeit frugally?

Is £600-£700 per month doable?
