Vegetarian food in Beijing?

What do I need for a Monthly food budget in Beijing?

  • Hello, I am living in Beijing right now and plan to move out of student dorms sometime soon. I would like to know what I should be expecting to spend on a monthly food budget. I plan on cooking on most days (mostly vegetables), but I would also like to go out to eat a couple times a week (somewhere reasonably nice). I would also like to go out drinking once a week. Thanks for your help

  • Answer:

    If you plan to cook vegetable dishes on most days, the cooking will cost you at most 200 CNY if you are not too picky. It's hard to say how much you will spend when you go out to eat since this depends on what you will eat. Self-cooking can save a lot, but you also have to realize rent, utilities, laundry etc. Basically it is not very convenient to live outside of student dorms.

You should go out and start checking on food prices at local indoor and outdoor markets. Make a list on what you basically will want and need by the week and mark the prices down. make columns and note which place has the best price and/or best product that you would want. Be sure you only note the very basic items then total them up and times 4 and you have your monthly budget plan. If you will still have money left then that can go for the extras you would want plus drinks. Keep in mind things like eating out and drinking, buying extra goodies, etc are just that - extra not necessities. You also have to realize rent, utilities, clothes, laundry, etc. Good luck.
