phuketrichard Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) we are a family of three, and without any booze, spend about 7000 a week Here in Phuket, ( prices are not really any diferent for supermarket that i have seen) , family of three all adults (my daughter is 15) we average spend about 3,500 for groceries which inculde toileters, washing liquid,etc and such. We also eat out maybe 3 nights a week. When we eat out (not lobster/steak etc) thai food about 500 baht. Japanese food and /or western 800-1,000 baht/meal Lunches; wife eats MaMa, Daughter eats at school and I usually make a sandwich or chicken and sticky rice from locals weekends Somtom :-) so we average for a month about $600, ( includes cat food) (20,000 baht or so) all inclusive No booze Edited December 6, 2009 by phuketrichard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Could you detail what your saying.6,000 to 10,000 total all in or 10,000 plus trips to the shops, if so how much for the extra trips. Sorry, what I meant was about Bt6000 split over 2 or 3 trips to the large shops, such as BigC or Carrefour and then another Bt4000 for purchases made at the market, food from carts etc. It might be less as I'm including nappies and baby milk in that figure which will run a couple of thousand a month actually. What I find is that having a vehicle makes it easier and I can go more often, as and when I wish, whereas before I had a truck, I'd eat out more and would resort to a once every so often shop by hiring a taxi and have it wait for me. I know that my missus "budgets" (she doesn't know the meaning of the word !) around Bt200 a day for food, virtually buying every day or more than once a day. Noodle cart is Bt30 for a big bowl with extra dumplings and extra pork ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
