Need to tighten up on DC budget. Recent grad, no job yet. Uni city, rent covered. Trying to come up with a reasonable amount for weekly living expenses which will really just cover groceries and socialising. Mobile paid by us. Doesn’t need to use public transport - if Uber needed and funds are tight, we would do a bank transfer. Doesn’t need to cover clothes, hair, gym, dental or anything extra really beyond food and some spare for some sort of social life. Needs to be a tight budget but how tight can we reasonably go? Also, not an enthusiastic cook and whilst might buy food for a couple of nights, no real meal planning and more likely to see what’s available on a given day.
If anyone is keeping a student on a low budget, would you mind sharing how much and also how they manage on it.
Any meal ideas that are cheap and cheerful would also be appreciated as mine are falling on deaf ears!
Thanks!
