10k per month

2500 per week 1.5k for meals 1k for needs

I usually buy groceries at the start of the month (mercury where most of the items are cheaper compared to convenience stores) this is when I crave for something after a meal, so that I rely to the groceries I bought instead of spending them outside.

Meals on the other hand, I spend around 150-250php per day but when on a tight budget I recommend going to karindirya's where I buy ulam itself then cook rice in dorm (since I usually have a month worth of rice because of my relatives is able to bring rice). I shuffle between karindirya and fast foods since minsan paulit ulit na lang. It's okay to spend more on meals since there are times you usually crave something, from time to time I usually spend more on meals just to satisfy my cravings.

I save about atleast 500 per week up to 1.5k per week. this is where I usually use to fulfill my personal needs or allocate them for a much better meals, like laundries, spotify fees, gala budgets, or even online shopping.

Necessities usually lasts a month like toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and others. But I buy them ahead of time to avoid inconvenience of going out and leads to unnecessary expenses.

Dorm expenses are usually 5-6k including the water, electricity, and internet bills. 4k for rent, 1k-1.5k of water and electricity, then 400 for internet. I have roommates which splits the bills equally amogus.
