How much money will I spend per week?

<p>How much money will I need for food, if I just have a meal plan for breakfast/dinner per week? $50?</p>

<p>That depends on a lot of things. How much do you normally eat? How many meals per week do you get at dining hall? How many meals do you eat each week? It’ll also depend on what you eat… places near my school are usually $5-8, but that’ll depend on the area and what you like.</p>

<p>Of course, eating out all the time gets expensive… if you’re looking to save some cash, keep food in your dorm room. A box of cereal is cheap and it’ll last a while. Sandwich supplies are good. Ramen probably isn’t the best meal, but everyone eats it anyways. If you have a stove/microwave, options are practically unlimited. Anyways, that’s usually way cheaper than eating out.</p>

<p>So it really depends on your habits, how often you’re going out, and what/how you eat.</p>

<p>i would say around $120</p>

<p>I eat about the same an average person does. My meal plan covers 10 meals a week, but we’re not allowed to take food outside the cafeteria, so I have to buy everything else.</p>
