That is what my manager told me. She was surprised that I eat with a budget.
I do not spend my money on daily meals like running tap water. Each of my daily meal should be below SGD$5, so in a day I have 2 meals, that makes $10 , breakfast I have bread that I brought from home.
She said that Singaporean eats without thinking about budget. They eat whatever they wanted to, regardless of price.
Do you?

i am like that. i have an amount for my meals if i eat outside, or when i am in my work. i should not spend much that is why when i buy my food, it is well- calculated.

Luckily so far we have not felt the need to budget our meals.

Not at all! There is no way my family of 5 could eat willy nilly.. not if we want to eat the entire time between paychecks!
So I try hard to mix meals so we only spend around 10$ per a meal, often a little lower. some meals are higher but again, its about budgeting so we can eat within our price point! I don't mind an occasional meal of pasta for 3$ (meatless) if we are going to splurge a little on a different meal!

You have to stay within your budget otherwise you may not have enough money to eat the whole week. I try not to spend a certain amount for my meals when I work. I even try to budget when I shop for my groceries and will look for sale items and clearance items to make my dollar stretch further. Nothing wrong with having a budget.
