Married couple, with one baby since May’21.
Bills section includes rent 1.65k, insurances 0.78k, money sent to our parents 1.1k, Serafe, electricity, internet and during Feb-Mar also some final payments to an apartment we bought and rented in another country.
Taxes are not included.
I might be the worse dressed person on this forum since I don’t spend in apparel as much as you guys/girls do. I spend in a year what some of you spend in a month.
yea, 1.2k looks like alot. correcting for that one tailored suit i had made for work, in 2021 i spent CHF 80. 30 for one pair of trousers, rest underwear
Welp… A couple factors: I have an amazing GF that cooks basically every day we’re at home (I do the dishes and we’re both happy with that arrangement), and there’s student life, plus some more things.
We visit family often on the week-ends so we don’t have to feed ourselves for one or two days at least every 2nd week.
My GF created a weekly food-plan that amounts to 35 CHF per person per week for food. Anyone interested in seeing that? EDIT: Here’s the food plan! Completely vegetarian, and many base materials are from an ethnic store in Oerlikon where you can get bags of dried beans/chickpeas/lentils/… for a very good price (wild guess: 1kg of soaked beans costs a bit over 1 CHF). Seriously, have a look around for non-traditional stores around you; about 20% are really useful to visit occasionally.
We receive cash gifts from our combined families to go out eating every one or two weeks for an evening that doesn’t appear in that statistic. Eating out often amounts to using toogoodtogo.ch and our Seven25 (GA after 19:00) to eat in the train, which doesn’t cost much either.
We do a lot from scratch. Even cleaning supplies are all put together from raw ingredients. Other household expenses like trash bags or a new soap dish are also in the ‘groceries’ category.
It’s not for a total of 52 weeks * 7 days * 3 meals. Grandparents often invite us for a week of holidays in the summer, other family parts invite us for other holidays.
I believe you that it works for you, but it wouldn’t work for me. I’m too much of a meat and raclette lover for this In addition feeding our dog for CHF 35 a week is impossible.
Would you mind sharing an example for one week? I’m curious how you get 21 meals for CHF 35.
We don’t feed our dog ready-made meals/food, it’s either really crap, or good quality and expensive as hell. We barf, meaning we feed him fresh, mostly raw meat, veggies, fruit, etc. Our dog had problems digesting the ready-made meals/food and he is now way healthier and fit since we started to barf and that’s more important for me than any money in the world.
I’d also need an extra room to store food for one year
I agree, but even then it’s impressive in my opinion.
As a powerlifter ? Thought these guys would have 8 meals a day just to get the calories in (was playing rugby before, and getting 6000 kalories in a day was not that easy sometimes)
