Basic meals, between 4$ to 6$, per meal, depending on your taste and if you can accept local hawker food. Good, filling, Basic meal in outskirts can be below 5 $, town area - 8$ and upwards.thailen wrote:to live(room cost is already paid!)?

I am not talking about restaurant meals. Restaurant meals can start from 15$ per meal. Or much more.
Transportation, budget 15$ + for EZ link, the local bus / train fare card. Rides cost about 2 $ each way.
Toiletry ?
You can get an idea of toiletry costs at NTUC online or Redmart.

IWhat I mean by toiletries is: toothpaste, shampoo, soap,medicine, etc.
Thanks for your helpful suggestions. If I stay in a neighborhood(out of the center) don't they have local restaurants I can eat at for less than 15 dollars?

Re: RE: Re: How much in Sigapore dollars would it cost
one can always cook. Rice is cheap, so is low quality meat, eggs and many many veggy products including tofu. Think a big pot of curry.ecureilx wrote:15 $ a day ? That's living princely, in heartlands ( all S$pthailen wrote:IWhat I mean by toiletries is: toothpaste, shampoo, soap,medicine, etc.

Re: How much in Sigapore dollars would it cost
thanks to all who offered suggestions! I'll use S100/$70 US ) as a yardstick, and assume it includes only meals and transportation. I cook my own breakfasts and only eat a light lunch, so I hope I haven't underestimated.

I think you've over estimated... can easily do it under $50SGD as well.thailen wrote:thanks to all who offered suggestions!
