What is your monthly food and restaurant expense in $?

[lightbulb27]

Per person?

After I calculate ours I will share. This is very reflective of the city and your eating habits.

We primarily eat food... not junk food. We don't drink expensive cereals and sodas so much, but we do like good quality food, organics, fresh, etc..

I spend about 50 bucks a week or every other week at the grocery store, combination of food and non food stuff. Around 25 additional on eating out once a week. I also just go to Walmart now because Safeway / Albertsons are a shining example of corporate greed. Still 9 bucks for a dozen large eggs where I'm at. Walmart has the same brand for 6.

So monthly... around 200 on just food for myself? A little hard to calculate because I buy certain things in bulk like rice and noodles since they'll last forever and I don't buy them on a consistent schedule.

I eat 3 times in the restaurant almost everyday, i spend around TW$1k for my foods in a day while Minimum wage here is only TW$28.590 a month here. I can’t imagine if i earn 28k a month and even a cup of coffee in the coffee shop is $140, what I can eat here. And rent apartments studio is around 20k-35k for a room without kitchen or just mini kitchen with mini fridge.

Taiwan dollar?

[itsannalee]

Yeah

[lightbulb27]

That dont make sense yet. 1000tw a day is 30000tw a month. You earn 28000 a month?

[itsannalee]

Nope, i was just say if,

This is hard for me to do because I go to school and the university has a “campus plan” for food.

I do eat out once a week but it varies greatly depending on if we are just getting pizza or I’m going to a nicer restaurant.

Most of my spending is on personal items like hair or hygiene products.

[lightbulb27]

oh yea, I've seen those womens products and clothes require their own part time job and large closet.
School makes things cheap, true... subsidized. but is it decent quality?

[Abbycado]

It’s actually really good quality. Essentially, we have food courts around campus. Each one will have around 5-6 different “restaurants”.

Ranges from places that have the healthier options to Starbucks.

[lightbulb27]

Is that higher end school or public? you're very fortunate! I can't tecall whst i had in college ither than pizza… for good reason🤣.

As someone who loves exploring different cuisines, my monthly food and restaurant expenses can vary quite a bit, often landing around $500 to $700. This covers local markets for fresh ingredients and dining out for those unforgettable culinary experiences. It's all about finding hidden gems and savoring memorable flavors. Exploring everything from delicious street food to exquisite Italian and Japanese dishes makes those expenses worthwhile. 🍣🍝

Good lord thats cheap… no way. You eating ramen and pb and j?

[Agape93]

Nope. I grow my potatoes and the bulk of my diet is meat. So all I need are occasional bulk vegetables, ruebens or a date night.

[Agape93]

And for the meat to clarify. I hunt, a lot.

[lightbulb27]
