Rent for 1 month = £500.
Groceries = £20 a week.
Wine = £3 Sainsbury's claret - I'm drinking it now, how sad, but it's not too bad.
Guinness = £2.50 (whatever the cost, it's worth it.)
Ciggies = £4.50 for a cheapo packet, say Soverigns (but I chucked that habit a few months ago - yippee!)
Petrol = 92p a litre in town, up to about 97p out of town.
Unless you're a teenager you wont be buying clothes every week! But if you intend to shop cheaply, go to a supermarket and buy jeans and shirts for about a tenner apiece. Or go to Top Man and spend 3 times as much. |

A lot of these questions can't be answered. With a small studio apartment, depends where. Inner city or country village? Which part of the country? How big? Furnished or unfurnished? Cigarettes are about £5 though. |

Hard to say, because living is different throughout. I was at uni in London and a studio for one person was at least £120 a week.
Groceries, you havent said what kind, some people eat a lot- especially you Americans (i have heard). Also, many of the stuff you get in USA you cant get over here. |

very difficult to answer but you can find them at our local stores. one store you could go on the web is tesco.com they automatically compare the prices within the uk for cheapest and expensive groceries and stuff. take a look. |

The UK, is like anywhere else in the world. We have expensive places to purchase goods, and the budget shops.
Cigarettes----about £4.50
Wine-- go to a lesser advertised supermarket---£3.30, per 75cc
Clothes----the UK is the right place to purchase whole wardrobes full---all sent to you from the far east. A suit? £50.00 |

Small Studio apartment with utilities (rent for one month)? £160 per week in cheap part of London
Modest groceries for one person (for one week)? £50
cheap bottle of red wine ( 1.5 litre) ?? £3
pint at a average pub (Guiness for example)??? £2.80
pack of cigarettes ???? £4-25 (cheap brand)
petrol per litre??? £1
Standard bus fare in London £1 (using the municipal pay-as-you-go card)
Based on SE England - difficult to be too accurate for the UK as prices are much lower in the North |

the apartment could be any price but look up property news on the internet and that should give you an idea
groceries depend on what you eat and where you buy.. check out tesco.com
wine is about £3 - £8 a bottle depends on what you like
pint is about £3 i think
and ciggies are from £4.35 - to over £5
petrol is about £1 |
