Rent, 1700/month, this is a small one bedroom garage apartment; I live alone and this is temporary, so not so bad.

utilities, roughly 140/mo, electric and gas are included in the rent

transportation: I do not have the most efficient vehicle (the good one was stolen), but my commute is relatively short; I have a car payment of 640/month, and gas of about 40/week

Food: variable, as I eat out fairly often (3-4 times/week, usually fast Mexican). I do purchase about 40/week in groceries (eggs, bread, bottled water or other drinks that are non-carbonated and preferably without high fructose corn syrup), plus the eating out is between 9 and 20 a pop.
