What my food expenses look like for someone living alone
I (25F) live in the province alone. Here’s what my usual weekly food expenses look like:
Fish (Sea king Salmon/Bangus) - 660
Chicken (Breast and Thighs) - 350
Egg - 120
Veggies (Palengke) - 250
Fruits (Palengke) - 300
Low-fat milk (for coffee) - 230
Tea - 80 (divided per week)
Total: P1,990 or approx. P2,000 per week
Brocolli is so cheap here like yung usual na 200 pesos per pc sa Manila, I can get 3 pcs for 150. For fruits usually tig 3 pcs of apple, oranges, dalandan tapos 1/4 grapes. As for protein, mas gusto ko talaga bumibili sa supermarket, mahal nga lang. I like preparing my chicken with soup like different dishes talaga, but for fish usually masaya na ako sa pan fried na luto. I usually get around 1200-1400 calories/day from these.
Wala pa yung body essentials, brown rice (4kg/month) and coffee beans kaya I usually budget 12k for food/groceries. I don’t usually eat out, tho madalas lang ako magcoffee outside weekly since wfh ako and i need to get out, but may budget ako doon separately.
Still, it’s sooo expensive to live healthy huhu. How about you what are your food expenses?
