I have $150 a week for food, toiletries, gas, car maintenance, and fun. For the next 5 years.

Do you have any tips for grocery shopping, work lunches, keeping my car in shape on my own, and getting together with friends without spending a lot of money?

I’m a 26 year old single girl. I have to look and dress professionally for work. I still like to go to concerts, but the ones I go to are always less than $20 for a ticket, and I don’t go more than once a month. I’m having a painfully hard time budgeting.

Any advice?

(I’m asking in cooking and recipes because I know there’s a lot of ladies and gents in this category who’ve made due on much less than $150 a week, I’m sure!)
forgot visa payment I actually only have $135 a week.

…things like drapes/movers/etc.
My move is local and I will be downsizing. My current home has lots of storage (bookcases, built-in shelving, etc.). I know that there are going to be a lot of miscellaneous expenses that come in a move, and I would like as best I can to anticipate them. Thanks.
