I've budgeted for £25/week food and household stuff like washing powder, lightbulbs etc averaged out over a month.
£6/week bus (meaning I can get the bus twice and have to walk after I've spent that)
£10/week for social stuff - maybe a few drinks and a game of squash with my housemate.
£50/month petrol to get to my bf and back or home and back twice a month.
£15/month phone contract.
£1595/year covering car insurance, tax, MOT, parking permit, some christmas/bday presents (some I buy out of weekly food money), sports club membership, books for uni etc.
I have very little and irregular income this year (self-funding PG degree) so this is budgeted from savings. If I earn extra I try to save some for emergencies and spend some on nice things :)
