Does that include going out? My thought was that since I am restricting myself to these specifics, I am saving on going out. I almost never cook so I am surprised that people can live on less. Are carbs cheap? Do you eat the same thing all week long?
Example: I love to order Jimmy Johns sandwich and chips. $11 after tip. Add a cookie and 66% of my daily budget would be gone, and I have drink water with it.
Not sure how you guys can do it. A bottle of wine is $10 at least where i live. Friends come over, we have wine and then go out to dinner and I have spent $50-100.
