<prompt> Human: Im a junior in college and signed a 12 month lease for my first apartment. I really want to get into budgeting and Im trying to figure out how much I should budget for each monthweek for groceriesmeal expenses not including alcohol or bar expenses in my monthly food budget since it will have its own. I know my budget may change depending on my first few months on the apartment, but I want to have a general number to shoot for right now. I do not have a job lined up yet, but I worked full time all summer at 10 an hour plus around 200 a month in commission. I have money saved up with no money issues, so I dont necessarily need to have a solid budget, but I would like to try. I do plan on working a full time job during the semester since I am taking mainly online classes. The two in person classes I do have are 3 hours long and in the evening. I will probably not have time to cook on these day for dinner depending on what time the classes get out. I was thinking 150 a month or 50 a week? Is this generous? Should I budget for the month or every week? Im new to all of this, so help is greatly appreciated. Also I tend to grocery shop at aldis and anything they dont have, Ill go to either kroger or walmart. Lastly, I do not eat pork or beef, so no steaks for me, only chicken.  <response>: Luckily for you - ynab gives 1 year free to current students.Setup a comprehensive budget, add goals to your budget - youll know exactly what you cancantshouldshouldnt spend.
