I’m single and live alone. I want to set myself a good budget and admit I’ve overspent /been wasteful in the past.

As a single adult female living alone - is £30 per month on food doable do you think ? Includes eating out etc

Good luck with that, less than £10 per week....what are you planning on eating?
You definitely won't be eating out!

£7.50 a week for 3 meals/snacks?
Absolutely possible if you're living off ramen noodles and thin air.

Add a zero and it would be easy but a £1 a day is impossible.

I think that's very low, especially if it includes eating out. I think £30 a week would be pushing it!

I couldn’t do it, especially including eating out. I think £30 a week not including eating out is reasonable.

Surely you mean per week?!
Weekly could be doable but not if eating out at all

HappySeven · 01/12/2024 12:39

A pound a day?

NutellaEllaElla · 01/12/2024 12:39

How could that include eating out?
