water bill is usualy the minimum charge 120 peso a month, electric normal usage about 200 maybe 300 peso, we can live on food costs per week of about 1000 peso, we eat well , oh this includes toiletories ect

i dont pay rent for property which is a bonus,
its difficult to give you more and exact, info as im out of track because of my building project,

but if i wasnt going to get any more income from renting the stores we building, and lita not working, and if my only income was my state pension in five years time, both of us could live quite comfortably,
iv learnt the best way to live economacly is not to keep converting the peso value for goods you would like to buy if you do you will keep thinking ooh thats cheap so you will be tempted to buy, learn to think in peso, then when something costs 2000 peso, you think oh thats expensive,
