Toronto on a Budget

I likely won't be doing 'Toronto on a budget' but I thought I would create one anyway.

I figure A and I will eat at least two meals out a day. We'll buy groceries and hopefully be able to make little things in our room like breakfast or a lunch here and there.

4 full days times 2 meals a day equals 8 total meals.

8 meals times 20 dollars per meal equals 160 dollars.

We'll round it up to 200 for good measure.

Not that I know much about this stuff, but we'll be vising galleries and other such attractions. I'll assume that entry to such places on a student discount would be anywhere from 10 dollars to 20 dollars.

5 galleries (max, seriously...I'm not visiting more than five) at 15 dollars each equals 75 dollars.

Nights out will account for quite a bit of my money I imagine as we'll be visiting different bars and such.

3 drinks per night (exaggeration) times 4 nights equals 12 drinks.

12 drinks times 7/8 dollars per drink equals 85 dollars.

And the biggest money grab...shopping. I'm not going to make a budget for this, but I'm going to try to spend only a few hundred dollars. It won't be hard...

So for everything other than shopping, I'll need about 350-400 dollars.

What I expected.
