Q: How much RMB do you spend a day?
Just curious to know what other expats' lifestyles are like.
Discounting things like rent, electricity, gaz, water, etc...just transportation, food, leasure, etc...how much do you spend a day?
During my travels around Shenzhen, I think I spent an average of 120 RMB a day.
Very little - less than that 20 weekday thing as an actual 'spend per day', because I do my food shopping sporadically...
And, I save to do stuff big - like fly across the country to visit people.
I average around 20-50 rmb on a day (20 for weekday, 50 for weekend). Weekends just depend if I'm going to be too lazy to put on pants or not.

See.. you need those baby pants for lazy weekends. And the sequined ones when you want to snazz it up and go out! Win win!

depends it cost me 750 rmb to fill up my car 20 rmb a day to park average maybe around 250 a day
For just myself, I spend about 50-100RMB per day for just food & essentials. On the odd night, I have been known to drop 2k+ just to have some fun.
Actually spend about 50-100 rmb per day during the week and roughly 200 rmb per day on the weekend. Fairly basic lifestyle.
If it's a normal day, where I only buy food, less than 30 RMB a day. I don't know what necessities cost, but it's usually things like toilet paper and tissues.
It depends on what things happen to you every day . we have spent day life .every two weeks 150 buying food and vegetsables . sometimes we go out dinning together .
Well, today was a little more expensive than normal:
Subway - 5 RMB
Lunch - 120 RMB (Amazing encheladas & beer)
Taxi - 25 RMB
Hong Bao (red envelope) to sick friend in hospital - 3000 RMB
Taxi - 80 RMB
Groceries - 80 RMB
Tonight's Beer, food & KTV - 1500 RMB approx.
But most days, between 50-150 RMB
Man, some of you guys are expensive (or maybe I'm cheap). Monday and Tuesay I spent "0." Wednesday, I spent 3 RMB on some tea. Yesterday, I bought lunch (and had something left over for dinner), so that was 30 RMB.
Today, however, I spent 288 RMB on books, lol. 
Usually, I can keep it less than 30RMB per day.
on an average day i spend less then 30 kuai. sometimes i can can make it through the week with 100.
Average meal for me was 125Y, but never ate alone. I was spending about 3000Y a day as a tourist, but I was doing crazy stuff like flying to Beijing and travellling.
10 to 15 rmb a day or sometimes nothing.
i do my shopping every 2 weeks from whole sale market not from retail outlets.
i never bought the food stuff from international malls.
i never used taxi unless it is urgent.
no night life.
try to save money as much i can because i need money back home.
