a hectare of farmland will suit to budget some veges for daily foods. hahahaha
hmmm well as for a student like me, here's how my budget goes...
>1 week travel card zone 2 - 3 less than 11 pounds
>1 week food allowance - more or less 20 pounds (Milk, Cereals, Porridge, Eggs, Bread, Fruit Jams, Cheese, Mineral Water, vegetable salad, Fruits [apple, banana, orange])... try the Tesco basics... some are not really bad compared to the expensive ones.
I eat heavy for breakfast, then I have free lunch at work. For dinner I drink Milk (protein) with fruit (usually banana)
Sometimes I cook Filipino food like ADOBO, MENUDO, GINILING, that's good enough for 5 servings then I put the rest of it in the freezer so I could consume it when I have cravings.
>Weekly rent - 32.50 pounds
>Weekly Bills - 5 (electricity + water)
>Internet - i use my neighbor's unsecured wireless connection
>Mobile Network - 35 pounds / month (need the minutes for work)
I set short term and long term goals where money is involve and I also put them into writing.
I seldom buy what I WANT...
Just be practical my friend.
Good luck with your budgeting!
Out of intrest what other shops and companies do you buy from?
If you buy anything from a Third world country or even in the Uk the company maybe treating its workers unfarily.
Do you know where the raw materials come from for all the items you buy?
I doubt even the companies themselves do as they get traded around the world.

Do you use either shops or resturants in the UK. Many treat there staff very poorly, ok they are adults but many examples of Wages made up of tips. Bending the rules so they work longer hours than they should do.
Do you buy prepared food in the UK many companies have been caught using staff who are ilegally working and in some cases due to their status treated very badly in deed as they have no way to complain.
Primark are very lax in there controls but i think a lot of people would be shocked how just about every one of the big retailers and blue chip firms allow bad practises to be performed out of our view.
Where do you buy your food from

Did you check the companies you bought shares in are 100 percent ethnical?
Do the staff or the company buy or have items supplied from factories in the third world?
For example do they allow non free trade coffe or choclate in their vending machines? Some of which may have been harvested by child labour and adult labour with very very poor condtions and pay?
Do you use a bank or trading company which treats its support staff fairly in the Uk and abroad?
Many large firms are now signing up to the london fair wage which is far above the minimum wage which makes a big difference to many lowly paid staff who really struggle with the far higher costs of london.
No point an indivual not buying in primark or gap or nike town if they then support other companies who use bad practises in a volume which far exceeds what you as an indivual would spend.
Heres an intresting take on ethnical shopping and how it affects people

hmmm well just to give my point of view about this comment... unethical? yes if you're using it for the purpose of hacking their network. no if you're just using it for browsing and NOT affecting the bandwidth of the network AND if they don't mind about it... you're question might be : "does the owner knows that you're connecting to their wireless connection?" my answer is yes. how? we have a shared folder for MP3 and movies and other non malicious stuff.
OK... back to our topic Re: Budgeting?
Thank you very much.
Unless a person gives you the express permission to link into the access point yes it is ilegal in the UK.
Also unlikely to ever be found out but dont tell your isp (i cant see why you would but you never know) as for many it will be not allowed in the T and c's
If you do share a access point and make sure its locked down (but not with ohh give me ten seconds wep).
Unless you leaving it as a defence to fileshare, but then if someone else accesses it and uses the connection for an ilegal reason....
Then unless you really can trust your life with this person do bear in mind they or people with access to their network may well have access to our data flowing back and forth.
For example again maybe unlikely but if using a shared link and your bank details became known to others any phishing or bank fraud commited on your account insurance claim would possibly be invalidated as your not using a secure network in the eyes of the bank.
I know if i was investigating a online banking fraud insurance claim the first thing i would do is ask what methods they used. Remeber they will look for any reason to invalidate a claim its there job.
Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.
