Approx Living cost in Galway.

oplain

Hello.

I wonder about living cost in Galway student who comes from outside of Galway city.

My plan is staying university accommodation during academic term and cooking food by myself.(But, i think sometimes i need to eat outside when i have busy days)

I go to bar or night club rarely(almost once a month), also do not go to shopping for my clothes or sometings.

I read lots of books and buy its too much in a month so, i just put that cost 60 EURO per month.

Also, i will buy bike for transport in Galway, so i donot need any bus ticket for journey.

It's my all of infos for spend money! Could you give me extra info or more infos? I'm looking forward your answer

Thank you very much and have a nice weekend!

Remember that that whatever budget you set out for yourself there will always be stuff that randomly comes up that you will completely f**k up your budgeting plans- such as project materials, losing/forgetting your return ticket, rag week, etc.

Your highest costs will be going out too- the less the better budget wise- I go out about 1-2 times.

And if you go home every weekend, cook a few dinners there, put it in a lunchbox and freeze it when you get up (eg cook the meat + curry part of a curry and then just buy rice when you get up there = very cheap dinner for you)

With the above, I would be comfortable at 60 euro, but twenty of that is travel- which doesn't apply as much to you.

Oh yah and Aldis Galahad costs 75c a can- and its fairly nice

I know people who can get through on €50 a week grand, including a night out. I tend more towards €70 or so, because I eat out more than most.

I'm sure you could get books much cheaper than that and then sell them back to a book shop when you're done.

does the 60 euro per moth include rent:S?

€60 per month? That's ~€15 a week, you wouldn't live on that. Well, you could just about, but it'd be frugal. €60 a week, that wouldn't include rent.

Some weeks will cost more than others. Want to go and see that play/movie/gig, probably another €20 for ticket and a drink.

I just came back from Aldi with food for a week (maybe longer) and a pile of cleaning stuff, €40. This was more expensive than normal.

If you budget for €100 a week (not including rent), you should have enough for bills or surprises.
