Manchester, UK
Old Trafford is just 2 miles from the centre of Manchester. There are limited facilities in the immediate vicinity, which makes accomodation much cheaper, but full range of shops, restaurants, bars, cinema, theatre etc, all available within 2 miles.
Rent 2 bed flat with parking £600pcm (cheaper side of town with limited facilities. The same flat in a trendier part of town would be about double that, ie £1200 pcm)
Council tax £100 pcm
Utilities £60 pcm (low as I am at home very little)
Clothing - a full range of prices available in the City Centre and Trafford Centre. Everything is covered from £1 t-shirts to desginer gear with designer price tags.
Food - again full range. An average pub style meal will be between £10 to £15 for a main course, with a bootle of wine around £12-£15 in a pub/restaurant. Cheaper cafes can give a hot meal with a hot drink for around £5 or you can dine out in style and easily blow £100 per person.
